Is it worth saving energy, if so "everything is fine"?There are huge reserves of oil and gas, the largest hydroelectric power plant in the world and many atomic reactors.Isn't it really enough?Enough, but you still have to save, why ...
International Energy Saving Day was established relatively recently, on 11 November 2008. The holiday initiator was the "school project for the use of resources and energy".
It would seem that the children have devised a holiday, they let them have fun, adults don't care about him.In fact, the holiday was not invented by children, but by adults and responsible people who care about the fate of humanity and the planet.
Unfortunately, not all of us see the need to save energy, so it is very important that the school project was the initiator of the day of energy saving.If children understand why save energy, then in the future, adults will not have to convince adults to resources.
Yet-CHI?What does energy savings give us?
1. Money
Everything is simple with money.We spend less energy: we pay less for this.Maybe someone is despised in grimace: "Here's another, to count the money!"But this is just one of the advantages of energy saving.
2. Comfort
A significant part of the energy expenses maintains a comfortable temperature of the house and in the office.In winter - for heating, in summer - by air conditioning.
A climatic system correctly configured not only produces energy consumption, but supports a comfortable "home time".In winter, nobody blocks, in the summer, does not languish from the suffering.
3. Nature
The share of "green" renewable sources in world energy production is constantly increasing.But the "pure" energy volumes are still the same as those we receive, burning gases, coal and oil products.
By burning hydrocarbons, we throw a huge number of harmful to all living substances in the atmosphere, from which we suffer not only us, but also our animals, rivers, forests and lakes.
We consume energy less, less dirt enters nature, the better our health is, our forests are magnificent and cleaner our ponds.In addition, our children will be able to see a bunny, a stork or a deer of eggs not through bars in the zoo, but on the forest path, out of the train or by car.
4. Climate
The day does not go so that the media do not report a new hurricane, catastrophic heat, flood or drought.Scientists blame global warming in this and associate it with an increase in the concentration of greenhouse gas in the atmosphere of the planet.
One of the most powerful pollutants of the carbon dioxide atmosphere is energy.By reducing energy consumption and carbon dioxide emissions, we will be able to suspend negative climatic processes.
Let the skeptics claim that nothing has been really shown that it is possible that the growth of the concentration of greenhouse gas is not a cause, but a consequence of heating.Is it an opportunity to abandon the fact that can damage our planet?Is it too dangerous to wait for reliable tests?Who will wait for them and who will need it, if the point of no return is overcome?Certainly not us and not us.
5. Economy and technology
The lower the energy costs for the production of products, the lower the price, the greater the competitiveness of the goods, the more effective the economy is.
The consumption of dignified energy stimulates scientific thought and the development of modern technologies.Anyone remember when American cars stopped watering Highva with petrol?After the first energy crisis of 1973.
The latest technologies provide technological leadership, they make goods even more competitive, they increase economic and military safety.
6. Children
We all work, we have fun, discuss politics and run on the scale of career.But we live for the good of our children, right?
We consume the resources of the planet, the more our children and grandchildren will remain.Isn't it worth saving energy at least for this?
