Question

write an article on saving energy

Answer 1

Nearly all everyday products have an impact in terms of energy, especially when you consider their energy requirements across the whole life-cycle: production, use and end-of-life. In many cases the use phase is dominating. Plastics, for example, are one of the most resource-efficient materials available. In their use phase, plastics products help to save more energy than is needed to produce them: For example, when you choose a bottle of water packaged in a light weight material such as plastic, remember that lighter packaging requires less energy for transport. Thus, less fuel was used to power the truck that delivered those plastic bottles.Saving energy means decreasing the amount of energy used while achieving a similar outcome of end use. Using less energy has lots of benefits – you can save money and help the environment. Generating energy requires precious natural resources, for instance coal, oil or gas. Therefore, using less energy helps us to preserve these resources and make them last longer in the future.
                    people use less energy, there is less pressure to increase the available supply of energy, for example by constructing new power plants, or by importing energy from a different country.

Answer 2

Answer:

Energy conservation is the effort made to reduce the consumption of energy by using less of an energy service. This can be achieved either by using energy more efficiently (using less energy for a constant service) or by reducing the amount of service used (for example, by driving less). Energy conservation is a part of the concept of Eco-sufficiency

1. Make sure your air conditioning and heating units are ENERGY STAR models.

2. Set a non-ENERGY STAR air conditioning unit to “Quiet Guard” or “Power Save” mode.

3. Get a programmable thermostat that will automatically turn your AC and heater on or off to save on energy.

4. Always keep windows and doors tightly shut when running the AC or heater.

5. If you have central AC, close the air vents in unused rooms to avoid cooling or heating unused spaces.

6. Turn off kitchen or bath exhaust fans as soon as possible.

7. Use ceiling fans to cool a room instead of turning on the AC.:
