The electrical energy that we use in our home is generated in thermal power plants which utilizes coal in order to operate. Coal is a conventional source of energy which is also non - renewable. It means once we are out of the available quantity of coal on earth, we are not going to have it in recent future. beyond this, thermal power station cause of a lot of air pollution and health hazards to the population nearby.
Hence, alternatives are being considered which are called non-conventional source of energy, which serves the same purpose without causing any degrading impact on environment. These sources of energy include solar energy, wind energy and nuclear energy.
We can make a difference by adopting sustainable lifestyle to conserve energy.
- At a personal level, we must keep switches and electrical appliances off when not in use.
- We can install solar lamps in our home in order to reduce pressure on thermal power stations.
- While buying electrical appliances we must check for star rating in it which represents how energy - efficient the appliance is.
- While putting clothes in washing machine, make sure that it operates at full capacity.
- Keep windows open for light. We must not use electric bulbs in broad daylight when we can get the light from our windows.
We can discuss the above points with our family members and neighbours and come up with posters and pamphlets to encourage others to do the same.
