Saving energy

Sustainable living means using our natural resources diligently to ensure that the future generations also have access to them. It includes water conservation, using reusable, recyclables and biodegradable products instead of single use plastics, reducing pollution levels, increasing green spaces and having sustainable food production. Saving energy is another part of sustainable living. Various steps that can be taken to save energy are as follows:
(1) Using solar powered power banks/ recharging stations
(2) Using hybrid cars.
(3) Using light/ motion censored light fixtures.
(4) Converting footfall into energy, specially in busy places like malls, rail or bus stations, etc.
(5) Using insulation to maintain temperatures in buildings.
(6) Increasing green cover around buildings, having green roofs installed to prevent buildings from heating up.
(7) Solar carports.
(8) Using technology to create awareness about energy conservation.
(9) Changing mindsets of people and making them more environmentally conscious.
Sustainable living is the need of the day to protect our environment and is something that everyone can practice in his or her individual space. It is important to lead by example and inculcate the ethics of energy conservation in children so that they grow up as conscious citizens.
