Electricity is one of the most important inventions of humankind. You must be wondering why it is important to save electricity. If you think it is merely to save money, you are wrong! Conservation of energy is much more than just saving your hard-earned money. It is about saving an exhaustible resource that our future generations might not be able to enjoy or take advantage of.
Why we should save electricity?
Most of the gadgets that we use today run on electricity. The electric light, fans, and refrigerators have become a necessity for most of us.
Most other gadgets of convenience, washing machines, coffee machines, ovens, ACs, Television, require electricity to run.
Laptops and computers are the main equipment for work for many across the globe today. They cannot run without electricity.
Domestic and industrial usage of electricity is quite high, and the generation needs to match up with the demand.
Electricity generation depends upon resources, some of which are non-replaceable in the short term. Thermal power needs coal and other fossil fuel for electricity generation. This fuel has limited reserves and can be replaced only over millions of years.
How to Save Electricity?
There are many different ways in which we can conserve energy. At home, elementary actions such as unplugging computers, turning off the lights, turning off televisions can go a long way to reduce our consumption of electricity, thereby conserving energy. You can even install thermostat technology at your home and identify the different appliances and gadgets that draw power from all those outlets that are not even in use. However, the question now arises, “Why to go to such lengths to save electricity?” Let’s find out!

Conclusion
So, what are you doing to save energy? For a modern, comfortable life to continue, we must save electricity for future use. That’s because once out of the reserves, the electricity generation will suffer tremendously and the demand will not be met. For our future and for the future of the generations to come, it is essential to cut down the consumption of electricity to be able to keep the generation going a bit longer.
