Conservation of energy is important, especially the conservation of conventional energy resources that may get exhausted in this century itself. With growing demands due to increasing population, we are overusing and wasting them. It is important that we soon find ways to use non-conventional sources of power as there is no danger of them being exhausted in our lifetime. In our daily life, we need to conserve energy. By remembering the 3 R’s and practising reuse, recycle, and reduce, we can save a lot of resources, utilize them judiciously, and conserve them for future generations. It should be realized that if all life-supporting resources are indiscriminately used then our very existence on earth would be in danger. Car pooling, turning off lights and fans when not required, cycling and using public transport are effective ways of saving energy. Alternative sources of energy, such as the sun, wind and water, must be extensively used.
