ENERGY CONSERVATION

Presented By Manindra Maju

WHAT IS ENERGY?

Energy as we all know is the ability or the capacity to do work. There are different

types of energy. Some are :-Solar energyHeat energy Potential energyKinetic energyGeothermal energyETC……………

RENEWABLE AND NON

RENEWABLE ENERGY

RENEWABLE ENERGY

Renewable energy is generally defined as energy that is collected from resources which are naturally replenished on a human timescale, such as sunlight, wind, rain, tides, waves, and geothermal heat.

NON-RENEWABLE ENERGYA Non-Renewable resource is

a resource of economic value that cannot be readily replaced by natural means on a level equal to its consumption. Most fossil fuels, such as oil, natural gas and coal are considered nonrenewable resources in that their use is not sustainable because their formation takes billions of years.

WHAT IS ENERGY CONSERVATION??

Energy conservation is not about making limited resources last as long as they can,

that would mean that you are doing nothing more than prolong a crisis until

you finally run out of energy resources all together. Conservation is the process of

reducing demand on a limited supply and enabling that supply to begin to rebuild itself. Many times the best way of doing

this is to replace the energy used with an alternate.

WHY DO WE NEED TO CONSERVE ENERGY?

•We Have Limited Resources Available On Earth.

•Our Demands Are Continuously Increasing Day By Day.

• It Is Possible That Most Of The Non-renewable Resources Will Be

Exhausted And We Will Have To Switch Over To Alternate Energy.

WHAT CAN WE DO TO CONSERVE

ENERGY???• Change your travel behavior, think more in terms of public transportation, if possible, walk or ride your

bicycle instead of taking the car• Reduce your house heat by 1C, keep the windows

closed while heating, dress warmly• Choose products that come with lightweight

packaging• Turn off lights and appliances when you are not using

them, use energy-saving light bulbs• Reuse plastic bags for shopping and storage

• Use a microwave instead of a stove to reheat food• Use rechargeable batteries instead of disposable

batteries
