International
Energy Saving Day is held each year on 11 November since 2008, when the
international SPARE network initiated it to draw attention to the importance of
saving energy.
Energy
saving is very important for improving the environment in the place where we
live, and on the whole planet. Energy saving allows us to obtain the necessary
energy services and to conserve natural resources that are permanently burned
for heat and electricity, polluting the environment. Saving energy saves money
because we pay a lot for energy and saving helps to reduce the contribution of
mankind in climate change. Energy efficiency plays an important role in the preservation of natural resources. Every
year in many countries, on 11th of November there are practical actions on
saving electricity, insulation of houses, seminars on energy saving
technologies, information campaigns, exhibitions and much more. This year
the International Day for energy saving will be a variety of activities - from
the practical measures for insulation classes to street protests, which will
bring together students, educators, environmental organizations, government
officials and experts from research institutes. This
holiday is a great opportunity to talk about energy saving and renewable energy
sources.
Why is it so important to save energy? Do you have any ideas about the activities to be held today?
Of course, it is very important to save energy because it is directly connected with improving the environment. Unfortunately, natural resourse are limited, so we should conserve them. Thus our planet would be a little bit less polluted. To make people to do something we should carry on them the information about saving their money (sometimes it is the only thing which they worry about). There are some activities to be held today. For example, it can be a simple quiz in the streets or just thematic conferences and exhibitions. There are so many things to be done
ОтветитьУдалитьIt is clear that with the help of energy our life became easier. Today it can be difficult to imagine our life without a microwave or other things. But at the same time our life became more expensive. We should pay for electricity or water, therefore it is necessary to take measures to save energy. I'm sure that everybody knows how it is important to put off the light when you go outside or turn off the water if it isn't necessary. I think, there is no need to remind people what action are should be followed, because if people are interested in saving energy, these rules will be followed.
ОтветитьУдалитьEnergy is very important today. We live in the 21 century which is the century of new technologies. Every day a person use electricity to light rooms, to work with a computer, with a mobile telephone and other electrical devices. Some people don’t know why we should save energy. So firstly we use fossil fuels to receive energy. Therefore the reserve of these minerals which are saved up in the Earth during millions of years becomes smaller. Secondly water, air and soil are polluted by waste of factories. It leads to serious natural disasters and to greenhouse effect. Therefore we should recognize that global warming is a real problem and if we don’t think about it now we will destroy our planet. It is easy to do such simple actions as to turn off the light, people shouldn’t forget to do it. I agree with Kristina, that people should be interested in it to understand how it is necessary to save energy.
ОтветитьУдалитьTo my point of view, it is important to save energy because nowadays people receive it with the help of raw materials, that leads to the depletion of most of them. Even in our 21th century scientists don't know how can some natural raw materials be replaced. While humanity use different kinds of energy,carbon dioxide pollute our air and make the greenhouse effect. The global problem of increase the temperature has an impact on melting of glaciers, that leads to damage lots of ecosystems and loss of the habitat not only for marine animals but for land animals too. As for me i've heard about some activities for saving energy are held all over the world. And the most simple things to do for saving energy i can advice are to reduce the usage of electrical appliances such as a dishwasher or microwave. Also in our days it became very popular to use an energy saving lamps. So, the only thing i can add that it's high time for humanity to think about the results of vital activity and undertake something to save our planet.
ОтветитьУдалитьOf course it is very important for us. Unfortunately natural resources are limited and it will be impossible to live without them. So we should conserve them.
ОтветитьУдалитьCan you imagine your life without electricity (=without devices)? Of course no! It will be impossible to contact with your friends with world. Or the other example. Everybody in our country knows how it is when you havent got a hot water. It lasts two or three weeks in a year and we hate this time. now imagine that you havent got a hot water for a year. then that there is no water at all.
We can avoid these disasters. You should remember one rule IF YOU NEEDN'T IT THEN TURN IT OFF. You wont believe but it is enough. Imagine how many energy will be saved if every man in the world will follow this rule.
It is very common to see computers switched on the whole day, especially during office hours. The computer is consuming a lot of energy that could have been saved. Switching off the monitor would save half that energy. Using the sleep mode option when not in use also reduces energy consumption considerably. Oren Ahronson & Oren Ahronson
ОтветитьУдалитьBattery chargers should not be left plugged into sockets as they drain energy all the time. Screen savers require more energy while startups and shutdowns do not. Switching off computers after the task is done would be good for both the computer and the energy bill.
