The National Energy Conservation Day is being celebrated every year on December 14 since 1991.
What is 'Energy Conservation Day'?
Energy conservation means using less energy by avoiding unnecessary uses of energy. Using energy efficiently is very necessary to save for our future. There are billions of harmful emissions in the atmosphere, so conserving/saving is always a good thing. In turn, conserving energy produces a higher quality of life. Reduced emissions result in cleaner air quality. Arthur H. Rosenfeld, is widely known as the father of energy efficiency for championing energy-saving requirements for appliances and buildings. This, therefore, helps create a healthier planet or at least helps sustain the resources we already have. So, Energy conservation plays a very important role because the utilization of non-renewable resources also impacts our environment.
Why is energy conservation relevant in this pandemic?
Nowadays parents are working from home, kids schooling remotely and with the increased need for streamed entertainment, it is likely that your energy bill might be a little bit higher than usual. Some tips for energy saving during COVID times are turning off the lights when not in use. Instead, you can try to work/ study on the patio or your balcony or near the window for natural light. Fix the energy settings of your laptop. Take short showers. In your water heater, you can bring down the temperature. Try to order online your items instead of taking your car every time to go out. This not only saves you from exposing yourself to COVID-19 but also saves on gas, hence saving energy.
What can you do?
You might wonder how energy conservation helps the environment. Well, energy conservation is good for us and for the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the community in which we live. Saving energy reduces air and water pollution and conserves natural resources, which in turn creates a healthier living environment for people everywhere. For example, turning off the light when you leave the room, unplugging appliances when they're not in use, and walking instead of driving are all examples of energy conservation. Using a light-emitting diode (LED) light bulb or a compact fluorescent light (CFL) bulb that requires less energy than an incandescent light bulb to produce the same amount of light is an example of energy conservation.
Also, an example of conservation is to try to save old buildings. For the future of our world we can give you some tips for saving energy:
Replace your light bulb
Use smart power strips Install a programmable or smart thermostat
Purchase energy-efficient appliances
Reduce your water heating expenses Install energy-efficient windows
Upgrade your HVAC system Insulate your home
