We Need to Save Electricity Now!

We need to save something important! We need electricity! Today, people take electricity for granted. We need to do something now to conserve electricity. Let us look at the importance of natural sources such as oil and natural gas, and the use of solar energy.
We have been using our natural resources to generate electricity and for other products. Oil, coal and natural gas take along time to be formed and cannot be replaced quickly when they are used up. This can affect the amount of electricity produced of if we cannot find alternative source of energy.
Solar energy is an alternative but it is very expensive and not many people can afford it. The panels needed for solar energy takes up a lot of space. Solar energy can be used only when the sun is shining. Thus solar energy may not be the best alternative source.

Our survey shows that some people do not about energy saving bulbs and do not switch off appliances after using. 12.5% of the people never use energy saving bulbs. 30% of the people no not know about energy saving bulbs!

Our resources are running out. We are still looking for a good alternative source of energy. Meanwhile, help to conserve electrical energy now........before it is too late.
