"The relative availability of public goods, including electricity, creates many people have the misconception that the benefits appear alone and never have eaten himself".
Why save electricity
"Why save them, if each of them is provided in sufficient quantity for an affordable price? But this concept of energy quickly lead to negative consequences, because the basic resources used in the production of energy are not renewable. The lack of a reasonable approach to the use of energy will lead to the fact that she will be less available and more expensive.
This has not happened, in many countries of the world already for a long time develop and implement strategies to improve the efficiency in the use of energy resources. In Russia the loss claimed electrical energy occur in the energy sector (due to the low EFFICIENCY of the systems) and in industry (mainly because of the wear and tear of the equipment), and also in the building sector. A considerable amount of energy loss in HOMES occurs because of the negligence of the savings of heat and electricity by the consumer, i.e. you and us.For the federal program for energy savings, began to operate at the level of the nation, you must first start with education of ourselves.
What can we each do to help maintain the natural wealth? In reality, methods to improve the rational use of energy resources there is a lot, but we can start with the simplest.
If each one of us at least once a day think that you need to turn off the light in that room, where it burns to nothing, or unplug the power cord from the power outlet that the unit is electric, and time in standby mode, or turn off the electric oven and prepare dinner on the residual heat, we have already making a significant contribution to energy saving in the region. Often we follow accepted clear appeals "Leaving, turn off the light!" or "to Preserve the light!" in public places and turn off the light in the room, when we forget completely of these golden rules in your own home. Wouldn't it be strange?
IMPORTANT!
A few people think that a hundred 75-watt light bulbs that are working in a vacuum, for now, "eating" a couple of kilos of coal or oil, along the way, contaminating the natural environment of harmful substances.
The next step for the scale of energy savings is simply replacing old light bulbs to new, energy-saving, which will reduce energy costs in a couple of times. With the aim of improving the energy efficiency in the beginning of 2011, in our country there is a ban on the sale of incandescent light bulbs, 100 watt, from January 1, 2013 - 75-watt. In addition, from 1 January 2014 will be introduced the ban on the sale of incandescent light bulbs 25 watt.
The replacement is not only a lamp, but and equipment with high energy efficiency saves electricity, and as a result, and the costs on it. However, it is worth mentioning, due to the effect of these measures was evident, it is necessary to install energy-saving light bulbs not only in houses, but also in the corridors, cellars, on the territory, that is, in the common areas.
BY THE WAY!
High quality energy saving bulb can work up to 12 000 hours, or about 2 - 3 years of fairly intense mode.
For the accounting of consumption of electric energy, the law provides for a widespread installation (and also the replacement of obsolete) the common parts and on the inside of the electrical energy meters. The correct and legal power connection and metering the consumption of electrical energy by using electrical energy gives consumers a significant savings and allows to plan costs, based on the testimony of these devices. Remember that the electricity to the common areas will never be free, it's not worth to postpone the solution of this problem, indefinitely. Much better to take control of the energy system throughout the house: don't allow that initially the light was on in the corridors, taverns and other public places at home; to prohibit the use of electric energy for purposes not related to the content of the common places in the home; the ability to install switches tactile, sensitive to the presence of a person in the room common, etc.
OUR GUIDE!
November 11 - International day of energy saving, in this day activities, aimed to inform people about the energy saving modes in existing and renewable sources of energy, to tell, why is it important to save energy.
