Hi Everybody!
This is Jogi, I am a power plant engineer. Lets have a GD on Saving Energy.
SAVING ENERGY
Most of the energy we use today comes from coal, oil, and natural gas. They are fossil
fuels. They take millions of years to form. We cant make more quickly. They are
nonrenewable. We need to save energy whenever we can. You can help.
Reduce waste.
A good way to save energy is by not wasting things. Dont use paper
plates or cups all the time. You only use them oncethen throw
them away. Write on both sides of your paper. Use a lunch box and
thermos instead of paper bags and box drinks.
Buy one big bottle of juice instead of six little ones.
Buy one big bag of chipsnot ten little ones. Reducing
waste saves energy. It takes energy to make things
and to get rid of them. Buy things without a lot of
packaging. Some candy has more plastic around it
than food in it. What a waste!
Reuse things.
Try to use things more than once. Wash out plastic
sandwich bags and use them again. Use the comics
from newspapers to wrap presents. Buy toys at yard
sales and you can save energy and money, too.
Paint your big sisters old bike instead of buying a new
one. Fix old things whenever you can. Give your old
clothes and toys to someone who needs themdont
throw them away.
Recycle.
You can recycle lots of thingscans, paper, glass, and
plastic. It only takes a minute to recycle, and it saves
energy. It takes a lot of energy to dig up metal and
make a can. It only takes a little energy to make a new
can from an old one. Cans can be recycled over and
over again.
Plastic bottles can be recycled into clothes and rugs.
Paper can be recycled into boxes and bags. Dont throw
away anything you can recycle.
Save electricity.
You use a lot of electricity every day. Use only
what you need. Dont turn on two lights if you
only need one.
Remember to turn off the lights when you leave a room. Turn
off the TV and video games, too. On a sunny day, read by a
window. Its a simple way to save energy.
Keep the refrigerator door closed. Know what you want before
you open the door. If youre pouring a drink, dont leave the
door open. It takes a lot of energy to cool things.
If the air conditioner is on, keep doors and windows closed.
Dont go in and out, in and out. If you can, just use a fan and
wear light clothes instead of using the air conditioner.
Save gasoline.
It takes a lot of energy to operate a car. Walk or ride your bike wherever you can. If you
and some of your friends are going to the same place, go together. Take the bus
instead of asking for a ride to school.
Save heat.
It takes a lot of energy to heat houses and water. If the
heat is on, keep doors and windows closed. Wear warm
clothes instead of turning up the heat. At night, use
blankets to stay warm.
When you take a bath, use only the water you need.
And dont stand in the shower for a long time. Heating
water uses energy.
You can make a difference.
The things you do every day make a difference. If everyone saves just a little energy, it
adds up to a lot. When you save energy, you save money, too. You have more money to
spend on other things.
Saving energy also helps protect the environment.
