Is it worth saving energy, if so "everything is fine"?There are huge oil and gas reserves, the world's largest hydroelectric power plants and many atomic reactors.Is it really not enough?Enough, but you still need to save, because ...
International Energy Saving Day was established relatively recently, 11. November 2008 years.The Holiday Initiator was an ecological network "School project for the use of resources and energy".
The children seem to have come up with a vacation, let them have fun, adults don't care about him.In fact, the rest did not invent children, but adults and responsible people who care about the fate of humanity and the planet.
Unfortunately, we do not see everyone the need to save energy, so it is very important that the school project was the initiator of the day saving energy.If children understand why save energy, then adults will not have to convince adults in the future.
And yet - why?What do energy savings give us?
1. Money
Everything is easy with money.We spend less energy - we pay less for it.Maybe someone is scornful grimisan: "Here's another, to count money!"But this is just one of the benefits of saving energy.
2. Comfort
A significant part of energy costs goes to maintain a pleasant house temperature and in the office.In winter - for heating, summer - for air conditioning.
The properly configured air conditioning system not only produces energy not only supports a pleasant "home time".Nobody freezes in winter, in summer - does not decrease from application.
3. Nature
The share of "green" renewable sources in world energy production is constantly increasing.But everything "pure" energy are still equal to those who receive, ignition of gas, coal and petroleum products.
The combustion of hydrocarbons, throwing in the atmosphere of a huge number of harmful for all living substances, from which not only I do not just me, but also our animals, rivers, forests and lakes.
The less consumed energy, the less dirt enters nature, the better our health, our forests are magnificent and cleaner of our ponds.Moreover, our children will be able to see bunny, gender or ravine deer not through the bars in the zoo, but on the forest road, outside the train or car.
4. Air conditioning
The day does not pass by the media not reporting a new hurricane, catastrophic heat, flood or drought.Scientists blame globally warming in this and joins him by increasing greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere of the planet.
One of the most powerful pollutants of the atmosphere of carbon dioxide is energy.With the reduction of energy consumption and carbon dioxide emissions, we will be able to suspend negative climatic processes.
Some skeptics claim that nothing really proved that it is possible that the growth of greenhouse gas concentrations is not the cause, but the consequence of heating.Is this opportunity to leave the fact that he can harm our planet?Is it too dangerous to wait for reliable evidence?Who will wait for them and who will need them, if he does not return to return?I can't definitely me and I don't.
5. Economics and technology
Reduced energy costs for product production, which is lower its price, which is greater the competitiveness of goods, the more efficient economy.
Dignified energy consumption encourages the scientific thought and development of modern technologies.Does anyone remember when American cars stopped leading high-petrol?After the first energy crisis from 1973. years.
The latest technologies provide technological leadership, make goods even more competitive, increase economic and military security.
6. Children
We are all working, we are entertaining, we arguing about politics and rush to the ranking in your career.But we live because of our children, don't we?
The less we consume the planet's resources, the more our children and grandchildren will remain.Is it not worth saving energy at least for this?
