How can we contribute to save energy?

Not just electricity but all other forms of energy like coal, petroleum, oil, ONGC etc. are exhaustible and should be used very very carefully. I always walk wherever its possible to save petrol!!

But i don't walk much instead i use public transport more often. :laugh:

Yes it is but i rarely see people using it even i too don't use it.

That's because solar equipments are very expensive, even with government subsidy on them, most people cannot afford to buy and install those systems!

I too try to use public transport as much as possible, but the transport system in Pune is a real pain!

I am really surprised to know it.Pune is like metro city and does not have a good transportation system. :evil: I have visited Pune when i was in college its a nice place. :)

Help Ban day night Ipl matchs. Then no need to do anything else

But what's the need to ban day night matches Ketan. :)

Every small contribution counts. If you run your fridge at a slow rate that would save some energy. Even painting your houses with light shades help them keep cool. That means lesser energy consumption.

I cycled many times before but now can not move without bike.I save electricity as much as possible.

If I go out for couple of days then I completely switch off the refrigerator and TV and other electric items.
Some people have habit of plugging the mobile or laptop charger even if it is completely charged, that is the wastage of electricity.

Bicycling is the best way to save fuel and also our muscles get toned. We can use bicycle if want to go nearby places. But now a days people are ashamed of using bicycle. Bicycle is free of fuel and can go long distance at the places where walking is not possible.

Yes pune is a nice place and it is like one of the metro cities

Now I will try to go to nearby places by bicycle.

Someone told me, if we switch off refrigerator for a couple of days, it may get damaged :silly: :blink:

Dark shades make rooms darker resulting consumption of more energy. :)

We should work more in day and use day light instead of electricity. Also big halls and common rooms should be preferred to small cabins. This may reduce energy consumption.

Ironing clothes should be done once in a week rather than doing it daily. It can save you much energy ,electricity and of course time

We can go for solar UPS for saving electricity. I agree it cost is high.

What i can feel is govt. Offering free television, rice etc., for poor people. Why cant they offer free solar UPS to people. :huh:

I agree if they spending fund to this TV and gas stove and all. Why cant they spend it for solar UPS. It will be helpfull for saving electricity and eco friendly also. :) :huh:

But I think we can see a lot of wind mills in Tamil Nadu...it's also a good source of energy..isn't it?
