Question

What are the environmental consequences of the increasing demand for energy? What steps would you suggest to reduce energy consumption?

Answer 1

Ans:

The demand of energy is increased due to the industrialisation all over the world. Their energy demands are fulfilled by energy obtained from fossil fuels. The burning of fossil fuels causes air pollution and releases large amount of carbon dioxide which results in global warming. So we should use these resources in optimum. We should not waste the energy. We should use alternate source of energy such as solar energy.

Answer 2

Industrialisation is the consequence of increasing the demand for energy.

It is because industries requires high amount of energies for their works. So, they obtain energy by burning the fossil fuels.

But burning fossil fuels is not good for our environment as it releases many harmful and toxic gaseous substances. It then results in global warming.

So, to reduce energy consumption, the industries should use the machines that requires low energy.

Also, we can use alternative source of energy like solar energy.
