We need to conserve Energy
Nowadays ,our electric bills are very high and
too expensive, but we cannot give up this electricity because it is our need,
so what we should do is to conserve it. If there is no electricity,we cannot do
most of the things that we do everyday,and we are now in the modern world, we
are also aware about the new invention especially the electronics,so without
electricity ,it’s hard to live.
This year’s science month celebration
has the theme” Scientricity: Energizing Science Clubbers for Sustainable energy”.For
me ,the meaning of this is we need to conserve energy so that we will not
experience scarcity.We can conserve energy by doing some of the simple things
listed below.
1. Turn off your television, video, hifi,
playstation, and other entertainment devices when they are not being used.
2. Do not leave your television etc in
standby mode. Devices can use up to 90% as much power in standby mode as when
they are on, so it is a serious waste of energy when a device is left
constantly on standby. If you keep forgetting, consider purchasing a PowerSafer
- a device which automatically cuts power to appliances when they go into
standby mode.
3. Replace all of your inefficient
incandescent light bulbs with energy efficient CFL bulbs. Replace halogen
spotlights with much more efficient and longer lasting LED Spotlights.
4. Hang your clothes out to dry rather than
using an electric tumble dryer. Ideally use a spin dryer before using the
tumble dryer.
5. Cook many items at the same time when your
electric oven is hot.
6. Use a microwave to reheat food or to cook
small portions. Although a microwave uses a lot of power, it does so over a
very short time and so saves energy overall.
7. Purchase energy efficient white goods
(washing machines, tumble driers, fridges etc). Although they usually cost a
little more initially, the cost savings in electricity will cover that many
times over. As an added benefit, efficient items are usually better made and
last longer than inefficient models.
