Stop Wasting Your Energy
Your energy is precious. Indeed, fossil fuels such as oil, coal, hydrocarbons, and natural gas have been detrimental to the production of energy for human activities. However, current energy requirements and production are depleting our natural resources in fossil fuel. According to the BP Statistical Review of World Energy, global oil reserves would be sufficient to meet another 50 years of production, based on 2016 production levels. The most optimistic estimates assure that humanity will not run out of fossil fuels until 2150, which is only a few generations away from now. We can’t afford to carry on utilizing energy the way we have always done. As resources are running low and on the verge of disappearing, it’s time for energy-hungry actors, such as companies, to become a role model and embrace energy efficiency once and for all. We have to stop wasting our energy because once it’s gone, we won’t be able to carry on.
You are virtually leaking money every day
Aside from our high consumption of energy in everyday activities, we are also guilty of wasting energy, aka paying for power we do not use, but that is, nevertheless, produced. When reserves are getting low, irresponsible wastes could have dramatic effects. Promoting energy-efficiency approaches doesn’t only support environmentally-friendly values. From a business perspective, it can also save you a lot of money. Indeed, businesses are more likely to leave appliances and even lights on. Desktop computers, for instance, use about 100 watts per hour, while a single light bulb uses 60 watts of electricity per hour. Multiplied by the number of appliances in your company, it’s easy to see how much of your budget goes into unused energy.
