e would be really terrified if we start
imagining those ten hours we spent without a cooler or a fan in the scorching
heat of June, those four hours we studied in candlelight during the examination
time, that one hour we spent without watching our favourite TV serial when it
was being relayed, the day when we had to bathe in freezing cold water in the
month of January. One may say life without electricity is definitely a curse.

o avoid being cursed in that way,
conservation of electricity will prove the ultimate solution. Conserving
electricity is the practice of decreasing the quantity of energy consumption
while achieving a similar outcome of end use. This will result to reduction or
ultimately elimination of wastage of Electricity. Conservation of electricity
has become increasingly important as energy rates and shortages have increased.
We can find a number of ways not only to cut back on our electrical use
especially with appliances commonly found in the home, but also to tighten our
belt when our hard-earned money goes only after paying electric bills.

uch of the world’s electricity
is produced from the use of non-renewable resources, such as natural gas, coal,
oil, and uranium. Coal, oil, and natural gas contain carbon, and burning these
fossil fuels contributes to global emissions of carbon dioxide and other
pollutants. Scientists believe that carbon dioxide is the principal gas
responsible for global warming, a steady rise in Earth’s surface temperature. Also, Non-renewable resources are gone forever
once we use them up and take a very long time to get renewed. Therefore, wasting
electricity is not good for the environment.

et another reason is that we need
to conserve energy is to make up for some of the energy that is wasted due to
the fact that a lot of people do not do enough reducing, reusing, and recycling
of their garbage. Companies use a lot of electricity to produce lots of
unnecessary items since many consumers do not use and reuse things as much as
they should. Making these products wastes a lot of energy and electricity.

inally, we need to conserve
electricity today in order to help future generations. Energy will be an even
bigger problem in the future than it is today. So if kids start learning to use
less electricity and to use it wisely today, they will be helping themselves in
the future.
