Preserve Electricity and Save the Entire World

We are so dependent on electricity that we overlook the damage we are doing to the world. For our comforts, we are slowly and gradually destroying the environment. You must be thinking how this is possible. Well, electricity is a type of energy. Gigantic power stations that light up our homes and industries use either water or fossil fuels. By overusing and wasting electricity, we are emitting carbon into the atmosphere. This leaves a negative impact on the environment and the world as a whole. To save the world, we need to preserve electricity. We can start off by switching off electrical appliances not on use; turning off the light when leaving the room; switching off the computer and television when we are not using them.

• Avoid preheating the oven - you shouldn't preheat the oven for more than ten minutes. And try not to open the door of the oven to see if the food is cooked or not. By doing so, the energy gets wasted.
• Boiling Water - if you are boiling a pot of water on the stove, use the lid. This traps the energy and helps the water to boil quickly.
• Use energy saver bulbs - energy saver bulbs are more efficient. Plus, it has a longer life than ordinary bulbs.
• Dishwasher - avoid using the dishwasher. Try to wash the dirty dishes and utensils in the sink. If you prefer the dishwasher, then buy a model that is energy efficient. 

Another good tip to have the faulty electrical appliances repaired. This saves electricity. By preserving electricity, there will be less pollution. Electricity uses fossil fuel (gas, oil and coal). It takes thousands and thousands of years for fossil fuels to be formed.And it emits a lot of carbon into the atmosphere. This leaves a bad impact. It warms up the planet and leaves a high presence of sulphur dioxide, methane and carbon dioxide. When preserve electricity, we preserve the natural resources and reduce the carbon footprint.
