What Does This Mean?

You might not spend a lot of time thinking about electricity generating waste. After all, we cannot see the immediate effect on our planet like we might be able to with plastic water bottles. But did you know energy production requires an immense amount of non-renewable natural resources such as coal and natural gas? These resources require monstrous power plants to be constructed and the process of creating electricity even releases toxic emissions into the environment.

By reducing our energy consumption, we can take steps to improve air quality, save money, and minimize harm to our environment. A great way to reduce energy consumption is to make your appliances more energy efficient and reduce your reliance on energy.
