Fossil fuels are sources of energy for cooking, heating and burning in our households. Petrol and diesel are being used in our house for transport and running generators and water pumps.
Measures to be taken to conserve fossil fuels in my house :
1. I will put the food material to be cooked on the stove only after arranging all the things which are necessary for cooking.
2. By using pressure cookers 20% gas on rice and 41.5% on meat would be saved when compared to Other cooking means.
3. We must reduce the flame as soon as the boiling process starts in a pressure cooker. This process saves nearly 35% of fuel.
4. I will soak the food material before cooking. It saves 22% of fuel.
5. I will cook food in broad and low depth vessel.
6. I will keep lid on the cooking vessel. If not, it takes more time to cook.
7. For short distances to travel I will go by walk to save fuel for longer distance. I use public transport.
8. Encourage people to use solar water heater and solar cooker.
