7 Reasons To Conserve Energy

  • June 1, 2015
  • Energy Efficiency

conserving energy Although it has a comparatively small population, America uses approximately 25 percent of global energy supplies. There are many benefits to be gained by using energy conservation to reduce this number. Experts have identified at least seven major reasons to adjust the thermostat or use mass transit:

1. Reduce Living Expenses

Saving energy usually reduces living expenses. When the public consumes less fuel or electricity, decreasing demand causes prices to drop. Additionally, most equipment lasts longer if people use it less frequently. This reduces spending on car, computer, air conditioner and kitchen appliance repairs.

2. Benefits The Environment And Protects Wildlife

Less consumption benefits the environment and protects wildlife. It decreases direct air pollution from machinery, vehicles and power stations. Conservation also reduces the number of harmful extraction projects and related spills. Coal mining and nuclear power accidents have caused serious harm to the environment.

3. Less Power Plants

If the public conserves electricity, utilities will not have to build as many power plants. These facilities are often unsightly, generate considerable amounts of noise and create safety hazards for nearby residents. Even wind turbines produce noise and kill birds that inadvertently fly into them.

4. Promote Health

By conserving fuel, people can protect the health of fellow humans as well.Pollution causes or exacerbates a wide range of serious medical problems, such as lung cancer and asthma. This results in unnecessary suffering and health care expenses.

5. Reduce Dependence

Less consumption reduces dependence on complex technology, transportation systems and trade agreements. If people conserve fuel, shortages are less likely to happen when natural disasters, accidents or military conflicts occur. Conservation makes it more feasible to rely on local and regional energy supplies.

6. Finite Resources

Some of the resources that people use to generate electricity are finite. For example, the planet is not capable of creating additional coal or uranium supplies. By conserving electric power, people can ensure that affordable energy is available for future generations.

7. Make A Positive Impact

It may seem that personal efforts toward conservation have little impact, but they can accomplish more by setting a good example. People are more likely to take steps to save fuel and electricity when they see their friends, neighbors or parents do so.

How Just One Method Of Conservation Can Make A Difference

 

Basically, energy conservation can make this a better world both today and in the future. It helps to
