Conserve energy

World over, the dependence on conventional energy resources is increasing. The conventional energy resources such as coal, oil, petroleum, kerosene, air turbine fuel, diesel and natural gas are extensively used for various applications. These resources harnessed over the last one decade are found to be extremely useful to human society apart from aiding rapid growth and development. However, all these fossil fuels are known to produce huge amounts of carbon emissions and greenhouse gases. It has been recently discovered that the carbon emissions and greenhouses gases contribute towards degradation of the environment and effect climatic changes on a long term basis. The prices of conventional energy resources are fast rising as they are exhaustible and on the way towards depletion. The energy producers and power utilities worldwide are under tremendous pressure to provide cheap power affordable to the common man. Therefore, there is great stress on conserving energy.

Electricity is produced by all forms of conventional energy resources. A great amount of this electricity is lost due to transmission and distribution problems. Besides, the power consumption is on the rise as population increases with corresponding growth in industrialization. An unit of electricity saved is equivalent to an unit of electricity generated. Therefore, the households are advised to use minimum electricity. It means unnecessarily power consuming appliances should not be run. The focus is more on educating the consumers to reduce their reliance on electricity generated from conventional forms of energy and turn to renewable energy resources. Solar energy and wind energy have emerged as the most preferred renewable energy resources.
