Energy needs to be conserved to cut costs and to preserve the
resources for longer use Conventional energy sources pollute the
environment by emitting harmful gases into the atmosphere
Conventional energy sources are limited and might expire one
day
Ways to conserve conventional source of energy are-

consumed when the appliances are not in use Yes, appliances draw
power from outlets and are referred to as phantom loads These smart
power strips will help to cut down on phantom-load costs and save
energy
Refrigerators are one of the main appliances that consume
power Keep the setting of the refrigerator low to save energy
3 Using CFL and LED bulbs to save energy Regular incandescent
bulbs consume more energy than CFL and LED
4 Clean or replace air filters as recommended Air conditioners
(AC) and heaters consume more energy than other appliances Cleaning
or replacing air filters improves efficiency and consumes less
energy
