As the population grows, so does the demand for energy. Therefore, “Energy Conservation Day” is celebrated every year to increase public awareness of the importance of energy conversation and energy efficiency.
Energy Conservation Day is observed every year on December 14. The day focuses on making people aware of global warming and climate change and promotes efforts towards saving energy resources.
Energy conservation is an effort aimed at reducing energy consumption and at least using energy in order to save energy for future use. However, energy conservation can be achieved by using energy more efficiently or reducing service usage.
Most of the energy sources used in our daily lives are ‘non-renewable’ they cannot be reused and renewed. It is said that our energy resources may last only for another 40 years or so.
Therefore, every individual must include energy conservation in their behaviour and to make energy conservation plan more effective.
