2. Energy wastage is a huge problem in our country. In fact, a report by the
energy department states that in the state of Odisha alone, out of the
3000 MW generated daily, nearly 1000MW is wasted! If this is the
condition in one state, imaging how much electricity is being wasted in
every nook and cranny of the country. Saving energy not only makes
sense environmentally, but also financially. Here are a few ways through
which every household can contribute towards the cause of energy
conservation.

4. Unplug:
Have you noticed how people plug their cell phone/electronic appliance
chargers even when they’re not charging? This is probably the most
unnoticed, but the most common way through which electricity is
wasted. To explain it in simple words- your charger’s job is to convert
AC or Alternating Current into DC or Direct Current. It also needs to
tone-down the high voltage current that flows from the outlet to the
much lesser voltage that your phone/electronic appliance use. Thus, even
when the phone/appliance is not plugged in, the adapter or charger as we
call them, are doing their job (of conversion). This wastage may be
miniscule for cell phones, but assumes significance when calculating the
energy consumption of other modern (albeit commonly used) gadgets
like tabs, laptops, cameras etc.

5. Switch Off:
Energy wastage is significant for common electronic appliances like TV,
blenders, home theater equipments, etc. even when they’re on standby.
Teach children to switch off monitors and turn off lights even if they
were to leave their desktops or their room for a few minutes.
Replace Incandescent Bulbs with LED’s:
Using LED’s instead of tube lights can reduce your monthly energy
consumption almost by 30%! Tube lights light up the entire room.
Instead, use spot lights that focus only on the area where you them. Even
CFL’s or compact fluorescent lights can help you save up to four times
of energy consumed by conventional incandescent lights.
Use Light Colored Curtains:
Light colored draperies allow light to penetrate inside the room with
ease. Similarly light colored wall paints allow light to reflect better.

6. Replace Old Electrical Appliances with Energy Star Ones:
You are certainly being penny wise and pound foolish by not replacing
your old and outdated electronic appliances with the new energy rated
ones. All electrical and electronic appliances come with energy stars that
indicate the gadget’s energy efficiency. The one’s that save more are
naturally higher priced but they help you save money in the long run.
Stop ‘Peeking Inside’ Your Oven and Refrigerator Often:
We all have this irksome habit of opening the fridge door and keeping it so
unnecessarily. Every time you do so, heat enters thereby decreasing its
ability to keep things cold. Similarly, do not open the oven door
unnecessarily.
These are just some of the many energy conservation ideas for homes.
