Saving Energy for Future Generations

As responsible adults and citizens of the nation, it is our duty as individuals to think and act wisely in order to protect our future generations from the disastrous consequences of energy loss. Advancement of science and technology has revolutionized the world but has also led to abundant energy consumption that can have adverse effects in the times to come. However, the government and other recognized bodies of authority realize the importance of saving power and thus have taken appropriate steps in this direction. The new Environmental Act passed recently states that any new residential developments going forward must have at least 50% of their water heating capacity provided by some sort of energy saving solution i.e.: solar, heat pumps. This is indeed an active effort towards saving our coming generations from the harmful consequences of losing essential natural resources like ‘Power’. But, what is our role in it? Here is how you can save the world from energy depletion:

Water heaters are the major contributors to the ever-rising electricity bills at home. A geyser uses 3-5 kilowatts (KW) of your total electricity. Replace those high energy consuming geysers with energy efficient heat pumps that use only 1 KW of power thus can reduce your bills considerably and save sufficient energy. This simple change at home can bring abundant benefit in the coming times. Also, switching to energy efficient lighting at home can be highly advantageous in reducing overall energy consumption. LED lights can save you substantial amount of power without damaging or depleting the environment.

Make Your Home Greener in 5 Simple Ways!

It is rightly said, ‘charity begins at home.’ When we talk of a pollution-free global environment, we must know that only by taking up this responsibility on our own shoulders can we bring about a positive change in the world. Here is how you can start a ‘Go Green’ drive at your doorstep:          

     1.  Go for green appliances at home- Did you know that your refrigerator takes away around 18% of your home’s total energy bill? According to the Environmental Protection Agency, replacing home appliances that are more than 10 years old with the ones bearing an ‘energy star’ logo is highly advisable. 10 homes using energy efficient appliances is equivalent to planting 1.7 million new acres of tree!

     

     2.  Keep a regular check on the temperatures:  heating and cooling at home can take away more than half of the total energy consumption. Turn down the thermostat in cold weather and keep it higher in warm weather. Consider buying a new furnace which is believed to be 25% more efficient than they were in the early years. Using ceiling fans instead of air- conditioners is also highly recommended the environment protection agencies.

      

     3. Each drop of water counts: Save water for a clean and safe environment. Energy loss is directly proportional to water shortage. Put an aerator on all household faucets and cut your annual water consumption by 50%.

     4. Avoid paper: Recycled paper products are best to buy for maintaining the ecological balance. Saving paper can save tress and keep the atmosphere fresh and healthy.

    

     5. Use energy-efficient lighting- Compact Fluorescent Light bulbs (CFLs) use 66% less energy than a standard incandescent bulb and last up to 10 times longer. Replace the high power consuming bulbs at your home with green CFLs.
