Why should we save energy?
First of all we need to understand what is “energy”?
Energy lights up the world we are living in. It powers the cars that we use, it warms or cools the houses we live in, and gives us pictures on the televisions.
Energy is defined as the ability or capacity to do work.
Our only source of energy is the Sun. This energy is absorbed by our environment and that is how this whole ecosystem works. every action requires energy. Our body ‘burns’ energy in order for the body to function.
The earth after many years of modification has managed to store this energy in forms of pockets in plants and animals. And this pockets of sunlight are buried under the crust for millions of years.
As the wants and needs of humans grew, so grew the demand for more and more energy. After the Industrial Revolution there was a need of immense energy, so man continued digging down in the earth for these pockets of sunlight.And then began the emptying the reserve of energy of the earth.Coal and crud oil are very efficient source of evergy but there extraction leads to contamination of environment. And that eventuall will harm us and the future.
The consumption of energy in metro cities is very high.If the consumption is made without peoper utilisation then that is considered as wate of energy.
Using electricity wisely can help you get more value for your energy dollar. It also helps to conserve natural resources and reduces the impact energy use has on the environment. It also reduceses contamination of the environment and keeps a regulation on the exploitation of the environment for energy.
The world needs to understand that the reserve will end someday and before that we need to start considering alternate and safer source of energy.
