Is it worth saving energy, if yes "everything is good"?There is a large oil and gas reserve, the world's largest hydroelectric power station and many atomic reactors.Is it not enough?Enough, but you still need to save, because ...
The new international energy savings day is established, November 11, 2008. The holiday beginner is a "school project for resource and energy use".
It seems that children come with a holiday, let them entertain, adults don't care about it.In fact, the holidays are not created by children, but by adults and responsible people who care about human fate and planet.
Unfortunately, not all of us see the need to save energy, so it's important that the school project is a beginner of energy savings.If children understand why they save energy, then in the future, adults do not have to convince adults to resources.
And again?What energy savings give us?
1. Money
Everything is easy with money.We spend less energy - we pay less for it.Maybe someone insults: "This is another, counting money!"But this is just one of the advantages of energy savings.
2. Comfort
Most energy expenditure will maintain a comfortable home temperature and office.In winter - for heating, in the summer - for air conditioning.
Properly configured climate systems not only produce the energy used, but support the "comfortable home".In the winter, no one freezes, in the summer - does not lower its satisfaction.
3. Nature
The "Green" source section that can be renewed in world energy production continues to increase.But the amount of "pure" energy is still the same as we receive, burning gas, coal and oil products.
Burning hydrocarbons, we throw into the atmosphere of a large number of harmful to all living materials, which we not only suffer from us, but also our animals, rivers, forests and lakes.
The less we take energy, less dirt into nature, the better our health, our forests are incredible and clean our pool.Moreover, our children will be able to see the rabbit, deer or deer roe not through the bar at the zoo, but on the forest road, outside the train or car.
4. Climate
Today has not passed so that the media does not report new hurricanes, heat disaster, floods or drought.Scientists blame global warming in this and associated with increasing the concentration of greenhouse gases in the planet's atmosphere.
One of the strongest pollutants of carbon dioxide atmosphere is energy.By reducing energy consumption and carbon dioxide release, we will be able to suspend the negative climate process.
Let skeptic claims that nothing is true -it is evident that the possibility of growth of greenhouse gas concentration is not the cause, but the result of heating.Is this an opportunity to abandon the fact that it can harm our planet?Is it too dangerous to wait for reliable evidence?Who will wait for them and who needs it, if the point of not return is approved?Of course not us and not us.
5. Economics and Technology
The lower the cost of energy for product production, the lower the price, the higher the competitiveness of the goods, the more economical.
The use of dignified energy stimulates scientific thinking and the development of modern technology.Does anyone remember when an American car stopped watering highiva with gasoline?After the first energy crisis of 1973.
The latest technology provides technology leadership, makes goods more competitive, improving economic and military security.
6. Children
We all work, have fun, argue about politics and rush to our career.But we live for our children, right?
The less we eat the sources of these planets, the more they will remain our children and grandchildren.Is it not worth saving at least for at least this?
