Energy Conservation and Efficienty- A Way to Sustainabilty
Energy is the driving force of the world, as we know it today. It is an essential ingredient of growth and development. However, such growth and development can be detrimental to the environment and therefore life on Planet. Environmental concerns have made us aware of the importance of utilizing energy supplies more efficiently. Beside the greenhouse gasses emission many other environmental impacts from the energy production and use are to be considered. In the coming decades, global environmental issues will significantly affect patterns of energy use around world. Also the rapid growth of energy consumption and the decreasing of oil and gas supplies as major energy sources makes energy today not as available as it used to be. Considering all that in the last two decades the increasing emphasis has been placed on energy conservation and efficiency. Nowadays saving energy, and using it more efficiently has, in some part of the world become a way of life. It is simply a matter of managing energy consumption by eliminating waste and using only what is needed. As energy is not as available as it used to be, the responsibility to use it as efficient as we can, is shared through putting a great emphasis on development of alternative energy sources, which are economical and environmental sensitive and also on securing reliable sources of future supply. Adapting our way of life and everyday habits, we are building a solid background for future generations.
