We all know about the renewable and non-renewable sources of Energy in school. but, we never paid much attention to the rapid consumption of the non-renewable sources of energy until now. The earth is faced with severe energy crisis now and none of us remain unaffected any longer. Should we leave everything to the governments, or can we do a bit to save energy? The answer is simple: Yes we can.
Let come across at how we can save power at home.
Light bulbs: You must have seen condensed fluorescent light (CFL) bulbs being advertised all the time. You must have even used them at times. As a power-saving measure, begin using the CFL light Bulbs as much as you can. If you are thinking they are more expensive than the regular bulbs, the benefits of the CFL bulbs will confirm much more cost-effective in the long run by the amount of power they will save.
Computer: More often than not, we do not switch off our monitors even after we have shut down our pc. Keep the monitor and the computer switched off when you are not using them. Start practicing this even when at work. You will help save some more power for the world.
Air Conditioner: Set the temperature at the minimum or maximum best you are comfortable with, depending on the season. Attempt not to set it at too high or too low temperatures. Setting the air conditioner at reasonable temperatures helps save a lot of power.
Washing Machines: Do you apply your washing machine as frequently as you want? Do you use your washing machine even when there are not sufficient clothes to wash? Minimize the number of washes by washing full load of clothes every occasion.
TV: Take off the power plug of your television set when not using it. This may not sound a big deal but this tiny step will help Save Power.
Refrigerator: take hot food to room temperatures before putting it into the refrigerator. You can also save power by taking cold or frozen food out of the refrigerator much before the mealtime, thereby saving power in heating it.
Car: For an air-conditioner equipped car, pull up the windows of your car before switching on the air-conditioner.
