| Description: | Saving electricity is one way that we can all help the planet. For more than a century, people have relied on fossil fuels such as oil, coal and gas for energy. Burning these fossil fuels releases the global warming gas, carbon dioxide, into the atmosphere. Other, even more potent greenhouse gasses, are also playing a role as is massive deforestation. |
| Details: | Electricity consumption in households differs immensely throughout the world and even within industrialised countries. An average European household consumes 4,667 kWh, whereas a household in the US consumes 11,209 kWh and in Japan 5,945kWh per year. A US household uses three times more electricity for lighting, and twice as much in refrigerators than a household in the European Union. This does not necessarily reflect a difference in comfort.
Please use this community in order to suggest ideas for ways to reduce the amount of power consumption in our lives. |
