We need energy
to heat our homes, cook and clean for our families and for transport. It allows
us to live a comfortable and easy life. However, if we do not use this energy
properly we will soon run out. Luckily, there are things we can all do to help
our planet and conserve our resources.
To begin with, much of the energy used at home goes to heating or cooling
our homes. A simple way to help conserve energy is by lowering the thermostat
by two degrees in the winter and raising it by two in the summer. By doing so,
you will not only lower your heating bill, but you will also reduce the amount
of carbon dioxide that enters the atmosphere.
Another way you can save energy at home is by buying energy-saving
appliances. Appliances like washing machines and cookers use a great deal of
gas or electricity to work. When shopping for new appliances, look for the
energy-saving sticker; they might be a little more expensive to buy, but they
help save energy, and in the end will help you save money on your bills.
A lot of energy is used by means of transport too. One of the many ways to
achieve low energy usage is to leave the car at home and catch the bus or the
train to move around the city. Fewer cars in the street means less traffic and
it will not only help save energy, but it will also reduce the amount of air
pollution.
In the end, it is up to every individual to take responsibility and change
their daily habits. If everyone does their part, then we can help save energy
and our planet’s resources.
1. Everyone
can participate in conserving energy and saving the
planet.
2. Heating and air conditioning influence the amount of carbon dioxide released
into the air.
3. Home appliances don’t need much energy to run.
4. When travelling, the only way to save energy is to use public
transport.
5. You do not need to change your daily routine to save
energy.
