Answer.
Energy is very important in all spheres of our lives be it industry, agriculture, transport, communication, or defense. Energy has two sides; on one hand, it is necessary for the development and it is a precious resource, shortage of energy will stop the development process and would make life miserable, and on the other hand consumption of energy damages the environment badly. So efficient utilization of energy can solve both problems.
Saving energy from an individual level is a much-needed effort for the conservation of energy.
The following are five ways in which we can save energy at home-
- Switching off the application like fan, light, and TV when not in use.
- Maximizing the use of natural air and light by keeping windows open.
- Regular maintenance of appliances like AC to reduce energy consumption.
- Soaking pulse before cooking to reduce LPG consumption.
- Use a bicycle in place for the bike for short-distance movement.
