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?
