Energy Efficient Strategies Analyst-What Changes Can We MakeThe changes we need to make as a people are vast. We must change so many things about how we live our lives and the way we view the outside world, if we are going to sustain a healthy living environment. In the past we have neglected to see the environment or the outside world as important or useful to us. Creating waste and industry that kills wildlife and plant life all around us. The past few years have shown us exactly what we are doing to our world, as we see global warming, melting ice caps and mass animal loss happening, we have to stop and take a long hard look at the way we live on this earth. Making changes, is never easy but it is a must. And we need to start now if we want to protect what little resources we do have left. Saving energy is one of the very best things we can do to protect our world, using less energy can help us keep more resources as well as keep our own energy costs down. Some changes we can make within the home to save energy are: Save at home:* Using the dryer less and hanging clothes out on a line more often * Turn down the air conditioning in the summer months, use it only when needed * Turn down the heat in the winter time, only use it when you need it * Use less products such as hair dryers and flat irons * Use more hydro in the evenings when the prices are cheaper Some of these tips are just common sense; since we need to preserve and protect the environment, we need to use less energy. As a people there are also things we should be doing, to cut back on energy use in factories and big box stores all over the world, such as: Save in the global community:* Turn lights off in factories when they are not being used * Switch to more solar and wind based power sources * Teach big box store to use less energy * Create new ways of building and designing * Ride more bikes/ walk more * Educate- teach others about energy use and preservation All of these are ways that we can create a better world for ourselves and those who come after us. Saving energy is something that all people can do, it is something that every household has control over. Do your part and find energy efficacy ways to do things, this will insure we have sufficient resources for years to come. Start to do your part today and we can all live a happier, healthier longer life here on earth!
