conservation is also important because consumption of nonrenewable sources impacts the environment. Specifically‚ our use of fossil fuels contributes to air and water pollution. For example‚ carbon dioxide is produced when oil‚ coal‚ and gas combust in power stations‚ heating systems‚ and car engines. Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere acts as a transparent blanket that contributes to the global warming of the earth‚ or "greenhouse effect." It is possible that this warming trend could significantly alter

Energy Resource Plan As the power bill is nearing to be three times as much as it has been‚ one thing on every household’s mind is‚ how are we going to conserve energy? Conserving energy is more than just “saving the planet”. It is preserving earth for future generations‚ your kids‚ your grandkids‚ and your lineage. We need to treat the earth like a precious family heirloom that is nearing its breaking point. There are two categories of energy: renewable and nonrenewable. Renewable energy comes

for the class of resources collectively known as renewable energy. Speaking of renewable energy‚ is solar energy the only one? Of course no‚ there are many things around us that we can get electricity. Examples of that are the plants‚ tides‚ waves‚ wind and also manure. What?! Manure?!But how? Well‚ it’s simple.Cow dung‚ cow pats‚ or cow pies‚ whatever it is called‚ has served Indian villages for a long time‚ in terms of its usefulness. It is used as a fertilizer‚ as a fuel‚ for maintaining mud

been harsh enough for the people of Nepal. The power cut being hiked up to 16 hours a day in 2009 provides testimony to the fact that Nepal has been hard hit by energy crisis. Given the over-increasing population‚ along with rapid industrialization and urbanization‚ the demand of electricity continues to mount‚ especially in urban and commercial areas. The nation‚ however‚ has not been able to supply enough to meet its demand. This year itself the power cut roared up to 80 hours a week. The Nepal Electricity
