The rate of consuming electricity is greater than the rate of producing it. In order to meet the growing requirements, we must conserve energy. Nowadays, most of the equipments need electricity to run and production of electricity is not sufficient enough to fulfill the requirement of each person on the earth. This ratio can be reduced up to an extent if we start conserving it from now onwards. There are many ways to prevent the loss of electricity, some of which you are not aware of.

You can start off the campaign by taking care of the unused appliances. Switch them off when not in use. Also, unplug the chargers that are not in operation. They are made to consume power even when they are not charging anything.

Do not use the appliances at their highest possible range. They consume a lot of power at that level. Fix them to a comfortable range and keep adjusting thermostat at normal temperatures.

Use your refrigerator at a temperature range of 37 to 40 degree F. At these values, it uses less electricity. Do not forget to cover all the liquids and food placed inside the refrigerator because uncovered food can lose moisture. Due to this moisture, the machinery and the compressor have to work hard and hence, refrigerator consumes more electricity.

Instead of using bulbs, use compact fluorescent lamps. They consume less power and are durable. Moreover, their lifespan is 8 to 15 times more than that of incandescent bulbs. They consume about 3 to 5 times lesser power than incandescent bulbs. Such efficiency makes them more desirable. Use of compact fluorescent lamp also diminishes the influence of green house effect.

Do not let the door of the refrigerator or oven opened for a while. It would change the temperature and to regain the right temperature again, it uses more electricity.

Rely on sunlight instead of artificial light. Turn off the lights and unused appliances while leaving the room. If you have installed a dimmer switch for lights then dim them as much as possible.

Save electricity and save your planet. Spread awareness about energy conservation that our planet stays green.
