Is it worth saving energy, if so, everything is okay?Having a largest oil and gas reserve, the world's largest hydroelectric power plant and many atomic reactors.Is it really not enough?Enough, but you still need to save, because ...
International energy saving day was relatively recently established, November 11, 2008. The initiator of the holiday is the environmental network "The school project using resources and energy".
It seems that the children have thought of a holiday, so they entertain, adults do not care about him.In fact, the holidays are not invented by children, but by adults and responsible people, who are interested in the fate of humanity and the planet.
Unfortunately, not all of us find the need to save energy, so it is very important that the school project is the one who initiated the energy saving day.If children understand why energy saving, then in the future, adults will not have to convince adults resources.
And not yet?What is energy saving for us?
1. Money
Everything is simple with money.We spend less energy - we pay less for it.Perhaps someone was despising: "This is another person, to count the money!"But this is only one of the advantages of energy saving.
2. Comfortable
A significant part of energy costs to maintain the comfort temperature of the house and in the office.In winter - for heating, in the summer - for air conditioning.
A proper climate system not only produces energy consumption but also supports comfortable weather in the house.In the winter, no one froze, in the summer - not wearing tired from stifling.
3. Nature
The ratio of "green" renewable sources in world energy production is constantly increasing.But the mass of the Viking's pure energy is still early with the products we receive, burning gas, coal and oil.
Burning hydrocarbon, we throw into the atmosphere a large amount harmful to all living substances, from which we not only endure us, but also our animals, rivers, forests and lakes.
The less we consume energy, the less dirt goes into nature, the better our health, the more magnificent and clean our forests.Moreover, our children will be able to see a rabbit, a stork or deer not through the bars in the zoo, but on the forest road, outside the train or car.
4. Climate
One day does not pass so the media do not report a new storm, catastrophic heat, floods or drought.Scientists blame global warming in this and link it to an increase in the concentration of greenhouse gases in the planet atmosphere.
One of the most powerful pollutants of the carbon dioxide atmosphere is energy.By reducing the consumption of energy and carbon dioxide emissions, we will be able to suspend the negative climate processes.
Let the skeptical people declare that nothing really proves that the development of greenhouse gas levels is not a cause, but the consequence of warming.Is this an opportunity to give up the fact that it can harm our planet?Is it too dangerous to wait for reliable evidence?Who will wait for them and who will need them, if the score is not approved?Certainly not us, not us.
5. Economy and technology
The lower the energy cost of the product production, the lower the price, the higher the competitiveness of the goods, the more effective the economy.
Serious energy consumption stimulates scientific ideology and development of modern technologies.Does anyone remember when American cars stop watering with gasoline?After the first energy crisis in 1973.
The latest technologies provide technology leadership, making goods even more competitive, increasing economic and military security.
6. Children
We all work, have fun, argue about politics and rush to the career ladder.But we live for the benefit of our children, right?
The less we consume the planet's resources, the more they will be our children and grandchildren.Is it not worth saving at least for this?
