Energy Conservation
Energy conservation, such as efficient heating, cooling, and lighting, not only saves money, it also reduces environmental and social impacts. These include air pollution, acid rain and global warming, oil spills and water pollution, loss of wilderness areas, construction of new power plants, and foreign energy dependence. There are many things you can do to reduce your energy use without greatly changing your lifestyle. Energy conservation and efficiency go a long way preserving our planet's rich natural resources and promoting a healthy environment.
