Energy Resource Plan

It is important for every individual to take part in conserving energy. There are many resources such as; oil, natural gas, coal, and water that we need to save for the future. Also conserving energy reduces your family’s expenses by giving us more money to buy other things that are really important. Plus it also decreases the pollution in the air and that will make us live a long and healthy life. Some of these resources do pollute the environment so that is why we need to try and find other ways to conserve energy.

There are two types of energy non-renewable and renewable energy. Renewable energy is energy that generated from natural resources such as; sunlight, wind, and rain which are naturally replenished. Solar energy is a example of a renewable energy. It is the sun rays that forms from the earth. Non-renewable energy is energy taken from “finite resource that will eventually dwindle, becoming too expensive or too environmentally damaging to retrieve, in which are naturally replenished short period of time.” Oil and natural gas is a example non-renewable energy. They are chemicals that are made from molecules containing just carbon and hydrogen. Every individual can help conserve energy by carpooling, walking or even taking a bus or train so that you can help cut back on polluting the environment. We can start also by recycling paper, plastic and glass. By preventing some of these things we can start by helping protecting the trees that they are cutting down to use for paper. Glass can be reused or recycled for more glass. We can also start switching off appliance and lights that we do not use. That is a perfect way of conserving energy and saving money also.

The government can provide plenty ways to help conserve energy. One thing that the government can do is start programs that and give out grants that will help our life. They need to give out a program that will help build better homes or remodel homes to help people insulate
