Conservation is all about saving energy. Electricity, water, gas, or any other resources that is depleting from free resources Earth has given us. Have you imagined living a day without using water, electricity, or gas? We have been living our daily life with these resources and it is difficult to live without them. We use electricity to light our homes, cook our food, listen to music, surf the internet, etc. Without electricity, you will have no entertainment in your life!
Every machine requires different amount energy consumed to operate. Most people even uses electricity when they aren’t needed at moment like when they leave home, they don’t turn off light, TV, or any other electricity using products. Refrigerators needs to be turned on all the time or your food will get mold. Think about how much energy it consumes and without having energy star labled machines, you will just see high monthly electricity bill every month.
Electricity is from where?
Electricity is generated based on renewable and nonrenewable sources. Renewable sources can be defined with wind power, hydropower, solar power, biomass, and heat from inside the Earth. In the researched records, about 10 percent of the electricity in United States is made up from renewable source. Nonrenewable sources are that cannot be reused such as gas, oil, coal, and any other fossil fuels. More than 70 percent of the electricity is provided by nonrenewable sources. Over 20 percent of the electricity in United States is provided by nuclear plants and the problem from there is disposal of nuclear wastes. Because most of electricity is provided by nonrenewable sources, not just United States, but whole world is deleting from these resources.
Why should we care about energy conservation?
It is because we are now limited from nonrenewable energy sources, it is important to conserve our energy. Not just electricity, but water, gas, and any other resources that Earth generates. In the near future, when you see the world without light, you will regret and say “Why didn’t I conserve energy?” So try to save from now and make a better future for ourselves and our kids.
Energy conservation is important in other ways. Because since most of energy is produced from nonrenewable sources, the nonrenewable sources affect the environment. Everyone knows that fuel pollutes air and water. When fuel, oil, coal, and gas is heated and when they evaporate, they release carbon dioxide in air which is very harmless to human body. Not just human body, carbon dioxide also damages the global warming. Have you noticed how the weather around the world is going chaos these days? How many tornado there were this year and the number of tornado increases every year? What happened to Japan? They didn’t even notice the incident when it happened and did not have time to evacuate. Have you heard the rumor that Atlantis will rise again and many islands will drown? Japan was one of them and it will soon happen for real if we do not change our life style.
