Is it worth saving energy if so, "everything is fine"?There are huge oil and gas reserves, the world's largest hydroelectric power plant and many nuclear reactors.Isn't it really enough?Enough, but you still have to save because ...
The day of international energy savings was created relatively recently on November 11, 2008.The celebration was the initiator of the environmental network, "a school project for the use of resources and energy".
It seems that kids are on vacation, let them have fun, adults don't care about it.In fact, the holiday was not invented by children, but adults and responsible people who care about the fate of humanity and the planet.
Unfortunately, we do not all see the need for energy savings, so it is very important that the school project was the initiator of the energy saving day.If children understand why they are saving energy, in the future, adults do not have to convince adults of resources.
And yet, why?What does energy savings give us?
1. Money
Everything is simple with money.We spend less energy - we pay less for it.Someone may be grimacing, "Here's another to count money!"But this is just one of the benefits of energy saving.
2. Comfort
Most of the energy costs are aimed at maintaining the comfortable temperature of the house.In winter - for heating, in summer - for air conditioning.
A properly configured climate system not only results in energy production, but also supports the comfortable "weather in the house".In winter, no one freezes in the summer - it doesn't attract stuff.
3. Nature
The share of "green" renewable sources in the world is constantly increasing energy production.But the amount of "clean" energy is still the same as what we get, burning gas, carbon and oil.
By burning hydrocarbons, there is a huge number of harmful to the atmosphere for all living substances that we, but also animals, rivers, forests and lakes suffer.
The less we consume energy, the less dirt in nature, the better our health, our forests are wonderful and clean in the lakes.In fact, our children can see it in the zoo, but on the forest path, on the train, or on the bunny, stork or roe Szarvas.
4. Climate
The sun does not pass without the media reporting a new hurricane, catastrophic heat, flooding or drought.Scientists blame global warming in this and associate it with the increasing concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere of the planet.
One of the strongest pollutants of carbon dioxide is energy.By reducing energy consumption and coal -dioxide emissions, we will be able to suspend negative climate processes.
Let the skeptics claim that nothing has proven that it is possible that the increase in the concentration of greenhouse gases is not a cause but a result of warming.Is this an opportunity to leave the fact that it can hurt our planet?Is it too dangerous to wait for reliable evidence?Who waits for them and who will need them if the return point is not transferred?Of course, not what and not.
5. Economics and Technology
The lower the energy costs of producing products, the lower the price, the higher the competitiveness of the goods, the more efficient the economy is.
Dignified energy consumption stimulates the scientific thought and development of modern technologies.Does anyone remember when American cars stopped watering with gasoline?After the first energy crisis of 1973.
The latest technologies provide technological guidance, make goods even more competitive, and increase economic and military security.
6. Children
We all work, have a good time, argue about politics and rush on the career ladder.But we live for the sake of our children, right?
The less consuming the planet's resources, the more our children and grandchildren remain.Isn't it worth saving the energy at least?
