Energy Conservation Day
Introduction
From the human body to everyday used electronics, we all rely on energy. We eat food in order to attain calories. Similarly, power plants supply abundance of energy for everyday use. What will happen if you will lose all resources that provide it? It seems unreal to imagine but not impossible. Energy resources like coal, petroleum etc. are limited. Also known as Eco-sufficiency, we should use a minimum amount of fossils.
History
With the rise in Arab Oil Embargo in 1973, the US government decided to set up the Department of Energy. Laws related to energy efficiency and research. Objectives were to conserve non-renewable resources. However, this was not limited with the US. In India, awards honored people who took special efforts towards energy conservation. Since December 14, 1991 we have observed Energy Conservation Day. However, today it is not only about conservation of energy. It also addresses climate change and raising awareness around it.
How To Celebrate?
Raise awareness regarding this subject. Educate yourself and your peers about climate change and energy efficiency. Many websites offer different ways to use minimum energy. Use appliances that consume less energy. Avoid wasting energy by leaving lights on in an empty room or water wastage or unused electric appliances for long. Use local transport. You can also pool cars. But ensure you are safe from Covid-19. You can visit the official website of the Department of Energy to learn more.
