World, in general, and developing countries in particular are facing serious power shortages. Since sudden increment in pwer is not possible we can resort to energy conservation. This is the best we can do to save power and precious resources of mother Earth.
Keep your car in good condition
There are several things you can do to keep your car in good condition while saving energy:
1. You should change air filters frequently.
2. Make sure that your car is properly tuned.
3. Tires should be inflated to correct pressure.
4. Spark plugs should be cleaned so that they produce spark at the right time and in right proportion.
5. All parts where lubrication is required should be properly lubricated e.g. gearbox, differentials.
6. Idling wastes a lot of fuel. So turn off your car while you are waiting for something or someone.
Just make sure that your car is in very good condition at all times by timely maintenance. You will automatically save costs on energy.
Turn off electrical appliances when they are not in use.
This is a very simple thing which one can do to cut his/her electricity bills although most people don't give a hoot to it.
Use Black version of google. http://www.blackle.com/
If you have beeen using the regular version of google uptill now, you should try this as well. It works justlike the regular search engine but it comes in black. Yes, instead of white background you are going to get pitch black background.
Computer monitors consume the highest amount of power when they show white color on the screen and least when black is shown. So if millions of people visit this website a very large amount of power would be saved.
This website also tells you the amount of energy it has saved.
Save water
Water, the lifeblood of cities and all other human populations, is taken for granted. A lot of energy is consumed to pump this water to your home. So please save as much water as possible.
Use Energy Efficient lighting
Use energy savers wherever possible. Using energy-guzzling lights makes no sense. If you want to light up your place well you can do it very efficiently with energy savers.
Turn off your car engine
If you are stuck in a traffic jam or waiting for somebody on road turning off the engine is the best thing yo can do to save fuel and your money.
While idling engine is running at its worst efficiency. (Efficiency of engine varies with its speed). So keeping your car engine on while its practically going nowhere is sheer waste of energy.
