Energy conservation is very important in to not only the community but also the world. By conserving energy, you will not only be helping your local community, but also by doing so you will be reducing you energy bills, and helping the world’s environment. The average savings that you can expect to see will be up to forty percent will be achieved though a properly implemented energy conservation plan. There are many activities that people can do to conserve energy as well as help not only themselves, but also the environment and everyone around them.
Conserving energy is important for the most obvious reason, which is the environment, but another important fact is that our current energy sources are not renewable. When using renewable resources such as biomass, water, geothermal, wind, and solar there will be fewer pollutants in the air. Nonrenewable resources such as coal, petroleum, natural gases, and nuclear power take millions of years to reform again and eventually will become extremely costly to harvest then humans would have to other sources for energy. Nonrenewable resources are all used up them it is harder to redeem them again which may cause more of an issue and make whatever current progress made retract and possibly go back to the original issue. Depletion of resources is threatening sustainable development of humanity. An increased greenhouse gas is changing the climate and this is one of the most serious issues in analyzing energy system. Reducing energy consumption and carbon dioxide emissions will help to conserve energy.
There are many contributing factors that can help to affect the environment around us, there are some living factors that help contribute or are affected by energy consumption are herbivores (animals that only eat plants), carnivores (Animals that feed on other animals or material of animal origin), and omnivores (Animals that feed on...
