As a student, helping the world is a big thing. But, i believe, if we work very hard, nothing is impossible. In this case, the littlest thing we can do can have a big impact. One thing we can do is lessen our use of gadgets such as cellphones, tablets and laptops. Use them only for necessary things such as getting updates from school, school projects and informing a love one. But to be honest, even i can’t do this much. So once a while, you can use your phone for entertainment, maybe 2 hours a day will do. Avoiding charging all the time can help lessen energy consumption. Also, at all cost, avoid using such gadgets while charging.
Another thing we can do is that we limit our use with appliances such as air conditioners and electric fans. You can beat the heat in a lot of ways without using or using only few energy. You can make ice and put them on your drink to cool you down. You can also wear less thick clothes so that air can circulate well in your body. Open windows or stay outside will also help beat the heat. With these ways, we can beat the heat and also conserve energy.
One last thing that we can do is that i heat or cook my foods in a very alternative way. Instead of microwaving our food, We’ll just put it inside a rice pot filled with warm and newly cooked rice. If space is not available, you can warm your food by putting it on top of your hot rice. To avoid using gas stoves, you can alternatively use fireword, composed of twigs and broken branches, so still many trees can still live and you can avoid the use of gas.
In conclusion, the only things the consume energy in our daily lives if we do all these are the lights and the refrigerator.
It will be really hard but we have to make a sacrifice, so our future generations can still enjoy our lovely planet. Goodluck Everyone!
