3. Effects to the environment by wasting electricity That depends on what type of generating station is involved in the creation of your power. Coal, which produces most of the world's power has by products that include sulfur dioxide which help cause the very real issue of acid rain. Hydroelectric power kills fish. Wind energy kills birds and bats. Solar energy uses some VERY nasty gases in the creation of the panels, which end up in our atmosphere. Batteries end up in land fills full of lithium and other bad chemicals. Every form of power creation has an issue. This ignores that much of the electric power you use also turns into heat. The best thing we can do for our planet is to not waste energy of any form. Use what you need, but no more.

4. What is energy conservation in our opinion…………… Energy conservation refers to effort made to reduce energy consumption. We can conserve energy by increasing energy efficiency and decreasing energy consumption. Using energy efficiently may lower costs, which means financial benefit, and it may conserve the supplies from companies. As electricity uses energy we should always look forward to stop using electricity unnecessarily and depend more on the sun (when possible). Another benefit of conserving energy may reduce maintenance costs. When our equipment like air conditioner, lights, TV run fewer hours, we may not need maintenance that often. Computers and other digital equipment may also consume considerable amount of energy. Energy efficient lighting demands less electricity which reduces polluting power plant emissions. Light shining into the sky causes light pollution. So energy conservation may help us in many ways and so would reduce environmental issues.  By: Anmol Fatima

5. What is energy conservation and energy efficency? Energy conservation refers to precautions taken by people to reduce energy consumption. Energy conservation can be achieved through increased efficient energy use, in conjunction with decreased energy consumption and/or reduced consumption from conventional energy sources. Energy efficiency is simply the process of doing more with less. The goal is to accomplish the same tasks and functions as before while using less energy. 

6. It's hard to imagine life without electricity. In our homes, we rely on it to power our lights, appliances, and electronics. Many of us also use electricity to provide our homes with hot water, heat, and air conditioning. There are many ways you can use less electricity right now!

7. Here are some ways to conserve electricity Set your home’s thermostat a few degrees lower. For each one-degree change, your family can save up to 5 percent on your home’s heating and cooling costs! Turn off lights and all electronics (like computers, televisions, stereos, and video-games) when you leave a room. Use the microwave instead of the oven for cooking your meals. Use machines like washers, dryers, and dishwashers after 8 p.m.

8. Open your blinds or curtains on sunny winter days to let the sun into your home. Save hot water by taking short showers instead of baths. Turn off the water while you brush your teeth. Occasionally hold a ribbon up to the edges of your home’s windows. If air is leaking, the ribbon will move. If you find a leak, let someone in your family know so they can fix it. Paint the interiors of your house with a light shade as darker walls absorb more light, compelling you to use high powered light sources which consume more electricity.

9. Benefits of electricity conservation …… Reduced Operating Costs Lower Maintenance Costs & Extended Equipment Lives Reduced Incidents of Building Related Sicknesses Decreased Building Product Waste Streams Enhanced Environmental Quality & Decreased Pollution

11. Quiz Time

12. 1. Most of the energy we use originally came from • the sun • the soil • the oceans • the air 2.Coal, petroleum, natural gas, and propane are fossil fuels. They are called fossil fuels because: • they are burned to release energy and they cause air pollution • they were formed from the buried remains of plants and tiny animals that lived hundred of millions of years ago • they are nonrenewable and will run out • they are mixed with fossils to provide energy

13. 3. Global warming focuses on an increase in the level of which gas in the atmosphere? ozone sulfur dioxide carbon dioxide nitrous oxide 4. Solar, biomass, geothermal, wind, and hydropower energy are all renewable sources of energy. They are called renewable because they are clean and free to use can be converted directly into heat and electricity can be replenished by nature in a short period of time do not produce air pollution

14. 5.Which fuel provides the most energy? petroleum coal natural gas Solar 6.Natural gas is transported mainly by pipelines trucks barges all three equally

15. 7.Electricity is the movement of  atoms molecules electrons Neutrons
