Many manufacturers are changing the way they produce products to learn new ways to conserve energy. Many businesses are looking for the most efficient and eco-friendly way to make so called “greener” products. However, it doesn’t effect your energy generator provider how much an individual uses or doesn’t use their electricity. The main way to see the increase or decrease in electrical dependence is by looking at the bills. Some homes made the choice to change light bulbs so that they can be more energy efficient and help make the world a healthier place. Downtown office buildings once left their lights on all night on the theory that it was cheaper to burn the extra juice than send a maintenance worker around every few months to change the tubes. Some other brands of energy saving light bulbs can reduce energy and costs by almost ten percent. This may not seem like a lot but when it decreases the amount of energy being used, it makes the world of a difference. People go by one rule, if your going to be out of a room for more than 15 minutes then the sensible thing to do is to turn off the lights to conserve energy.

Turn out the lights
The lights are about to go out during an Earth Hour performance at St. Jude’s Church in downtown Oakville in 2009. the “Earth Hour its residents reduced energy consumption by 11 per cent and power consumption was reduced by 13 per cent in Oakville. “The town is proud to participate in Earth Hour”. I believe this is a awesome way to help save power just by turning off our lights. By turning off lights, and conserving energy it can help us preserve our valuable natural resources. The government is also taking a positive role in setting an example for others. They want a healthy environment for everyone who lives inside of it, and by them demonstrating the Earth hour it will give an example of what the people should do to keep the economy better and easier to live in. To prove to the people of the world that they want a better environment, the lights will be turned off in 63 Ontario government offices during Earth Hour and the province said it is taking steps to reduce its energy consumption all year round.

Referring to the 1st article: I agree, if the light bulbs cost more, but cut down energy costs, then why not shell out more money to save on energy? "Downtown office buildings once left their lights on all night on the theory that it was cheaper to burn the extra juice than send a maintenance worker around every few months to change the tubes." did this theory turn out to be true?
ReplyDeleteReferring to 2nd Article: it's good that people are trying to cut down on power consumption, and the fact that the government is setting a precedent for the people, it is important that they do that. I'm glad to see that people care about the environment and want to take part in saving it.
ReplyDeleteReferring to 3rd article: It's fantastic to see that people care internationally. The combined effort of the world could make a huge impact on the amount of energy used over the globe.
ReplyDeleteeven though the theory was not proved to be 100% true, companies that make energy efficient light bulbs prove that their products save money and energy at the same time. Then by turning off lights when not being used can help save the buisnesses and world the same things.
ReplyDeleteYeah, it's good to see that people are experimenting to see whats works and what doesn't. This will lead to breakthroughs in technologies that will help make the world more "green"
ReplyDeletei agree 100% at least some people are trying to help the world unlike the people that are dumping oil spill!
ReplyDeleteReferring to the 1st article: i think it complety a wast of money to by lightblulds that spend more money then what the light bulb is worth, so why do they even sell them in stores?? i like how buliding are useing the money wise and seeing if the thory is ture. is it ture??
ReplyDeleteReferring to the 2nd article: i think it is a gaert idea to bring in the government and have them see how much energy we are using each day and night. its also wounderfull that people are trying to make a differacne in saving our Earth!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteReferring to the 3rd article: i love the fact that other countiers are starting to care about saving our earth and that they want to save energy.
ReplyDeleteyea i know at least someone is the U.S. does not seem to care very much..
ReplyDeletei think its great that the government is steping in too but i have a feeling that they wont do that much once they fined out they are goin to have to spend money
ReplyDeleteYes, the government will most likely step in to a certain point, but until the cost is too much they will not want to get to far over their heads in debt ( the U.S is already trillions of dollars in debt.)

ReplyDeletei totaly agree with both of you!!!!
ReplyDeleteOK...here's what I'm thinking...are big companies and government doing things, like turning the lights off, to go "green" or to save money? In other words, if turning the lights off didn't save a company 9or the government) money...would they bother? I really wonder about the motive of these big companies and the government. Are they trying to save money...are they just trying to look good to their consumers (their people)...or they REALLY concerned for the environment??? I would like to hear your thoughts on this and would also like to see a link to an article or two that discuss this side of the issue.
ReplyDeleteGeneral Electric IS going green for two reason. the first reason is primarily for buisness benefits only. They are making green products to make the environment conscious consumers buy their goods which directly profits GE.
