Talking about how we could help our environment is related to the way we utilize our electricity
. Turning off lights is probably the easiest and the most economical way of helping our environment. Let us find out how lighting management could affect our environment.
First of all, let us agree that electric power generation uses non-renewable energy fuel and it pollutes the air we breathe in. The next point is that the smoke generation from fossil fuels is one of the primary reasons of worsening greenhouse effect which resulted into the global warming of our planet. Examples of burning fuels are natural gas, coal, oil, and gasoline. These fuels raise the carbon dioxide level in the atmosphere which is the main contributor to the greenhouse effect and global warming. Such increase in our earth's temperature is enough to alter the balance of nature.
The recent strong typhoons, flash floodings and landslides all over the world are side effects of the melting of huge icebergs from the North and South Pole. These worldwide disasters are caused by the global warming of the earth. It is a fact that global warming does raise the temperature of our lands and our ocean waters. It is about time you and I stop the warming up our planet.
By turning off the lights you can lessen the power demand for electric power generation. The wise utilization of lights from everyone could stop global warming. It means also we are reducing the burning of fossil fuel thus limiting the emission of air pollutants to our environment. By efficiently utilizing your lights at home and at the office, it could also reduce your electric bill.
