Energy allows the creation of electricity, which allows us to have light in our homes, cook and have a stove or refrigerator when needed in the house. Energy is used all over the world. Electricity also creates pollution, which is why we must learn to use and conserve it. Turning off lights when not in use can not only save the earth but also your electricity bill. Also look for alternatives such as using solar panels, a power strip for all outlets or energy efficient light bulbs, keeping the thermostat at a specific temperature and using fans help save energy; these options will help save energy and are another way to help the earth stay clean and resourceful longer. Being responsible with these resources will allow them to last longer. We must not only educate ourselves, but help others learn different ways to help planet Earth last longer for the humans and animals that reside on it.
