Introduction

• Today, very few people can turn a blind eye to
  the state of the earth, of our environment, and
  say they dont care.
• The effects of global warming can be felt by
  people even in the coldest of climates. It is not
  something that is merely discussed on television
  anymore, but something that is experienced by
  all.
• While not everyone can take time off from their
  work, family, and other commitments to devote
  their lives exclusively to saving the
  environment, the fact is that there is a lot that
  the average householder can do even without
  stepping out of their homes!
• In fact, not just homes, even people in offices
  too can do a great deal in saving the environment
  and all through a very simple thing - saving on
  electricity bills!

How Saving Electricity Can Help Save the
Environment

• Since the majority of electricity in the world
  today is still generated from natural gas, oil,
  coals, which are found in the earth, requiring a
  great deal of drilling or mining to be made
  available to the energy sector, saving on
  electricity goes a great deal in reducing the
  impact of our energy consumption on the earth.
• These processes require not just exhaustive
  mining and drilling works, which are by itself
  damaging to the earth, they also require a great
  deal of transportation, which requires the
  burning of gasoline, which in turn contributes to
  the generation of gases such as methane and
  carbon dioxide, which increase global warming by
  trapping heat inside the earth.
• If every single person did their best to save on
  electricity, the amount of electricity consumed
  would drastically reduce, which in turn would
  lead to lesser reliance on fossil fuels for
  generation of electricity. This by itself would
  help in reducing global warming considerably.

Advantages Of Saving Electricity

• Apart from the benefits to the environment, there
  are also other benefits to saving electricity.

  the savings in energy or utility bills. The
  amount of money you can save by saving
  electricity every month can even go into a saving
  fund for your children or used for other things
  that bring you much joy.
• When you save electricity, such as by switching
  off your television for an hour a day, you also
  get other benefits such as increased bonding and
  communication with your family members or more
  time to socialize with your friends. You will
  also find that you have more time to spend on
  your hobbies which you may have neglected for
  years. You could also find yourself taking the
  time to go outdoors and enjoy the beauty of
  nature or even just go for a walk or hit the gym
  instead, all of which have direct benefits on
  your physical and mental health.
