The simplest way to define energy conservation is the decision to practice using less energy. Energy conservation is something that every individual should practice to ensure the continuing availability of energy.
Economically, saving energy can help save you money on energy costs.
Environmentally, saving energy can reduce greenhouse gas emissions and other pollutants. In addition, it can reduce water usage.
We can accomplish acts of energy conservation by making a simple lifestyle adjustments like
- Get a smart thermostat
- Turn off lights and electronics
- Use energy efficient light bulbs
- Turn down the refrigerator
- Put decorative lights on a timer
Earth is like our home and it is our duty to make this home a better place to live both economically and socially.
