Conserve Energy

Our lack of energy conservation is sadly a huge problem in the pollution of this planet. While this would not be a hard task for anyone, it may be hard to grasp the habit of doing the action. Many of us were taught to remember to turn off the lights before we leave the room, but it would be surprising that not a lot of people do that. According to Lisa Montgomery, 90 percent of parents claimed that someone leaves the light on somewhere in the house everyday. This is obviously a huge percentage. Now be honest with yourself, do you ever forget to turn off the lights? Everyone makes that mistake every once in a while, but essentially we should learn to develop a habit in learning to conserve energy. 

  • Turn off the lights

  • When you leave a room, turn off lights to save energy. This step should be easy and simple. After you use the restroom, remember to turn off the lights. Especially if it is in your house, do the favor of helping your parents save money on electricity bills while saving the planet. 
  • Think before you do!

  • This applies to as little as opening the fridge only if you know what you are getting. When you open your fridge, you will realize that there is a light that turns on. This contributes to the continuous problem of the world. The longer you open your fridge, the more you are harming the earth. 
  • Take advantage of the sun!

  • We are all super blessed to still feel the heat of the sun and get natural light from the sun peaking through our homes. Use the natural light from the sun instead of the lights from the house throughout the day. Dry your clothes outside in the sun instead of using a dryer. Hand Washing and drying your clothes outside would help preserve your clothes and make it longer lasting. You would also avoid the worry of your clothes shrinking in the dryer. 
  • Live in the moment.

  • Instead of watching TV all day, try picking up a book and read for an hour. Go outside and hang out with your friends. Play ball with your neighbors. Being constantly on mobile devices would drain the battery and also strain your eyes. Both are serious problems in affecting the world and your health. The more you charge your phone, the more your parents have to pay. The more you stare at your phone, the more your eyes will become strained. Give yourself a break and enjoy life in its presence.
