Global Warming

ENVIRONMENTAL DAMAGE.
USING ENERGY EFFICIENCY TO FIGHT GLOBAL WARMING.

Fossil fuels are seen as the main cause for climate change. Our (over)use of them risks irrevocably destroying the fragile balance of the Planet. It is difficult for all of us to “see” global warming, but the impact is increasingly evident, and it is alarming.While waiting for the Energy Revolution of the third millennium, which will involve the use of clean and renewable energetic sources (sun, wind, bio-masses, the sea, clean hydrogen), everybody can already do a lot to stop climate change and cut down on the emissions of climate damaging gases - mostly CO2 - by investing in “energy efficiency”. Energy efficiency means saying no to some of the comforts of our current lifestyle and reducing the energy consumption of our appliances, buildings and industrial plants, to get the same effect but with less consumption. Research on European level confirms that it would be possible today to save up to 45% of electric power consumed and to cut one third of CO2 emissions by replacing all current electrical appliances with more efficient models already available in the market.Energy efficiency is the first and most important renewable source currently available, because it is the easiest to develop and with the least cost to society. All of us can already do a lot to stop climate change and cut down on our own CO2 emissions.How? By investing in energy efficiency!

GLOBAL WARMING

Our apathy harms only our own futures.We all know about global warming. Although peoplemight not think that they can do anything aboutit themselves individual action can make a bigdifference if we all do them together. Little things liketurning off a light or not leaving a tap running.As it takes more effort to do it than not, we don’t do it.But that energy you save when you turn your computeroff rather than put it on standby can really makea difference to our planet’s future when you multiplyit by a thousand or a million.And after all, our future is something we all share.
