Energy Saving Techniques

Introduction

In this paper, we will have a discussion on how we can live lightly on the earth by reducing the negatives impact of our activities, and at the same time, can save the money. What we can actually do to reduce our impact on the ecosystem is a big question, however. 

Energy saving is to reduce energy consumption while maintaining the same results. Lower energy consumption has many positive sides.

We can save money and help the environment at the same time. The production of energy requires the use of valuable natural resources such as coal, oil or gas. Therefore, judicious use of energy helps us to preserve these resources for future longer enough. If people use less energy, there would be fewer chances of negative effects on the environment.

Thesis Statement

Many of us are trying to find ways to save energy and reduce our carbon footprint. The paper will provide with the solution to tackle this issue in detail.

Discussion

Almost all the products of daily life are important from the point of view of energy, especially when we consider how much energy we need throughout the life cycle; which is the production stage, the usage stage and the disposal stage. In many cases, the second phase is the most dominant stage which has different consequences to the environment.

The use of plastic products helps save more energy than is required for their production. When we select a bottle of water whose material is light, such as plastic, we should remember that lighter packaging requires less expenditure on transport. As a result, less fuel is needed for trucks that distribute the plastic bottles. For example, the lighter the product is, the less would be the cost of transport. A heavy suitcase in the trunk of a car requires more fuel when travelling. The same policy applies to all products. Therefore, buying products which are lighter in weight may also help the environment (Clift & Cuthbert, pp. 10-15).

Climate change is a reality which is now consolidated. There is an increasing concept in many industries and companies that they actually want to call themselves as "green". For this matter, this paper present a discussion on the some of the ways by which we can reduce the environmental impact of our activities, save money, live a healthier life, and also can indirectly help the people who have neither food, energy, nor water to have ...
