If "everything is good" like this, is it worth saving energy?There are large amounts of oil and gas reserves, the world's largest hydropower station and many atomic reactors.Isn't it really enough?Enough, but you still need to save because...
International Energy Saving Day was established on November 11, 2008.The sponsor of the holiday is the Environmental Network’s “School Programs Using Resources and Energy.”
It seems that the children have thought of a holiday that makes them amused themselves, and adults don’t care about him.In fact, this holiday was not invented by children, but by adults and the heads of the person in charge who care about the fate of humanity and the planet.
Unfortunately, not all of us feel the need to save energy, so it is very important that school projects are the sponsors of Energy Saving Day.If children understand why energy savings are needed, then in the future, adults will not have to convince adults about resources.
Not yet - Why?What does energy conservation give us?
1.money
Everything is very simple.We spend less energy – we pay less for it.Some people may feel despised and painful: "This is forgot the money!" But this is just one of the advantages of energy conservation.
2.Comfortable
A large portion of the energy bill is spent maintaining comfortable temperatures in your home and office.In winter - for summer heating - for air conditioning.
Properly configured climate systems not only generate energy consumption, but also support comfortable "house weather".In winter, no one freezes in summer - not struggling from the slumber.
3.nature
The share of “green” renewable resources in the world’s energy production is increasing.However, the amount of "pure" energy is still very quickly equal to the energy we receive, combustion gases, coal and petroleum products.
Burning hydrocarbons, we enter the atmosphere, are harmful to all biological matter, we suffer not only from our pain, but also from animals, rivers, forests and lakes.
The less energy we consume, the less dirt we enter nature, the better our health, our forests are grand and cleans our ponds.Additionally, our children will be able to see bars in the zoo and instead see rabbits, storks or deer deer on forest trails outside the train or car.
4.climate
The day won't pass, lest the media report new hurricanes, catastrophic heat, floods or droughts.Scientists blame it on global warming and correlate it with an increase in concentrations of greenhouse gases in the Earth's atmosphere.
One of the most powerful pollutants in the carbon dioxide atmosphere is energy.By reducing energy consumption and CO2 emissions, we will be able to pause negative climate processes.
Let skeptics claim that there is no real evidence that the increase in greenhouse gas concentrations is not the cause, but the result of warming.Is this an opportunity to give up the fact that might harm our planet?Is it too dangerous to wait for reliable evidence?If there is no point of return, who will wait for them?Who needs them?Of course it's not us, it's not us.
5.Economics and Technology
The lower the energy cost of the product, the lower its price, the higher the competitiveness of the commodity and the more economical it is.
Dignified energy consumption stimulates the scientific thinking and development of modern technology.Does anyone still remember that American cars stopped watering with gasoline?After the first energy crisis in 1973.
The latest technology provides technical leadership, making commodities more competitive and increasing economic and military security.
6.child
We are all working, having fun, arguing about politics and catching up with the career ladder.But we live for our children, don’t we?
The less we consume the planet, the more they will leave our children and grandchildren.At least isn't it worth saving energy for this?
