As the world advances and we discover new technologies, we are faced with the problem of energy waste and global warming more and more constantly as time passes. “Energy is the ability to do work” (for starters). Alternative energy and power generators have been built and designed to disintegrate the use of oils and fossils that damage the atmosphere and nature. As consumers of this energy we are obliged to find a solution to the problem as it not only affects our surroundings but also harms us and our way of life. Fortunately, there are many ways to use energy that have less impact on the environment. our environment. They have almost no carbon emissions, compared to normal power generators. “These include biomass energy, wind energy, solar energy, geothermal energy and hydroelectric energy sources” (Alternative Energy). These have become an alternative for companies, homes and other buildings, with the use of these elements we are able to produce energy while reducing the production of CO2. Even though these have become the main alternatives, it is necessary to have a keen awareness and sensitivity to the energy used on a daily basis and to know how to take advantage of it more efficiently. The above is not very convenient for the general market, as well as alternative energy generators, awareness of efficient energy use and energy saving in the home are accessible at home, school or work. “In 2009, a study by the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory shows that the majority of domestic energy consumption is: Space heating—29% Space cooling—17% Water heating—14% Home appliances—13% Lighting—12% Other ( stoves, ovens, microwaves, coffee makers, dehumidifiers)—11% Electronics (computers, monitors, DVD players, TVs)—4% “ (Getting Started)h...... middle of paper......
