OBJECTIVES

By the end of this Unit of study, the individual learner will be able to:

a) Identify the negatives effects of wasting energy
b) Give the positive attitudes towards energy conservation.

INTRODUCTION

In the previous unit ,we learnt about the concept of energy conservation. That is how energy is conserved. In this today's unit ,we are going to learn about the negative effects of wasting energy and the positive attitudes towards energy CONSERVATION.

THE EFFECTS OF WASTING ENERGY

2.It also causes water pollution

3. It causes damage to public health system.

4. It causes danger to wildlife and habitat loss.

5. It leads to global warming due to emissions of polluted gases

POSITIVE ATTITUDES TOWARDS ENERGY CONSERVATION

1. Adjust your day to day behaviours towards energy use.
2. Replace your light bulbs with energy saving bulbs.
3. Use smart power strips (electric extension)
4. Upgrade your heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems
5. Purchase energy efficient electrical appliances.

EXERCISE

1. Mention three effects of wasting energy.
2. Give three positive attitudes needed for energy conservation or management.
