Energy conservation!!

The planet earth is running out of natural resources. Our extra-ordinary use of electricity, petroleum and coal for our day to day comfort, is no where responding to what environmentalists came up with called "sustainable development" where we would use resources in such a way that it would not affect the comfort of future generations.

Conserving these resources can start from home:

Few ways that I could up with on spot and try to adapt to these habits in my day to day life would be:

1. Turning off lights and fans when not in use.

2. Keep the water taps turned off when brushing

3.Try to use more of bikes rather than cars

4.While using cars, try to car pool so not more than 1 car is used where at least 3 people can use the same amount of gas (and hence gas conservation)

5.Change the "traditional" lights with compact fluorescent lights or light-emitting diode bulbs , as it uses 40-70% less energy.

6.Using energy efficient appliances

7.Sealing the cracks and holes in your house if any, this helps less use of cooling and heating devices.

8.Install solar panels and make sure that all the house electricity uses solar energy

9.Make sure to compost the food waste
