How to make an effort to conserve energy, and we live without electricity
- Living with no electricity might not be as easy as you may think and you not realise how many items in your home rely on it to function. Electrically managed technologies supply us with many things, such as heat, food, water, transport, energy, entertainment and communication.
- Electricity allows us to power the technology we use every day. If you plan on trying to live without electricity, you will no longer be able to turn on the central heating in your home, use the toilet, preserve food in your fridge/freezer or have clean running water.
- Despite surviving thousands of years without it before, we have come to depend on it to complete our everyday tasks and have built our lives around it. We are so reliant on electrical power that it would be a shock to many if you no longer had the regular supply.
- Some people prefer to not be so reliant on electrical energy and opt for an off-the-grid lifestyle, utilising alternative energy sources for their power. For many years, they were considered to be eco warriors and often eccentric with a different and extreme way of life, but it is becoming a popular choice for many.
