One of the
sources we usually
destroy is energy.
We don't conserve
energy resources.
And although some
care about restoring
our
resources,
many of us still
roam the earth in
our
ozonedepleting cars.
What are the different sources of energy
that fuel our appliances?
First are the conventional sources of
energy. These are commonly known as the
nonrenewable sources. These are sources that
can't be replaced or restored. Coal, oil, and
natural gas are considered to be nonrenewable.
Second are the nonconventional sources
of energy or the alternative ones. From the word
itself, it can be replenished or restored.
Examples of these are solar, hydroelectric,
biomass, wind, geothermal, and nuclear
energies.
How can we conserve energy? We should
develop the usage of the alternative sources of
energy. As mentioned above, we should save the
conventional ones and start using the
nonconventional.
Secondly, we should be energy-efficient.
One way to be one is to unplug the appliances
and devices when not in use. Also, we should
avoid unnecessary wastes of energy; Use a
basin when washing dishes, a cup when
brushing teeth, and a pail and a dipper when
taking a bath.
In addition, we should take responsibility.
Reducing the use of plastics can go a long way.
Using recyclables such as paper bags and the
like will get us farther on track to being greener.
Human beings carry a big obligation in
caring for Mother Nature. The only way to do
this is to discipline ourselves. With discipline,
we can contribute in conserving energy and stop
this global crisis. We should not wait until
tomorrow to start this action. It is now or never.
