Do you like to save electricity and money? In a lot of places electricity is expensive and it might be where you are. It is best to use renewable energy or just try not to use any energy if you want. The best ways to save energy are by turning off lights, don’t take long showers, and go on hikes and bike rides instead of playing video games because that uses a lot of electricity which costs a lot of money. The best thing to do is go play in the woods if you live near one. If you don’t, then go to a playground. You can play for a while and you can make friends there. You can even play sports which do not use electricity. So what will you do, save electricity or don’t save it? Have a lot of bills and go broke?

I wonder how much energy I use in one day. The average American household uses about 28.9 kWh per day. Oh, wow! That is a lot of energy. We need to reduce the amount. We can do that by taking shorter showers. You know when it gets really cold? You want to turn on your heat. Instead, wear a blanket, a coat, or a warm sweater. If you have an electronic like a phone, video games, and computer when you are done, you should unplug it. Last, if you leave a room, you should turn the lights off. There are so many ways to save energy and these were only some of them. So, let's try to save energy.

I wonder how much non renewable energy we use every day. We should use renewable energy. Everyday we aren't just wasting non-renewable energy we are polluting the earth and that's bad for the environment. We need to use renewable energy and I mean it. What is renewable energy? The sun, the wind, and the water; that's all renewable energy. We need to save our world, we need to save our energy. Did you know that the average human wastes a lot of energy every day? I literally mean, turn off every single thing when you go to bed. Or just get wind turbines or solar panels. So next time you leave your lights on, make sure you get wind turbines or solar panels. Now is the time to save our world. We need to help our environment. Let's do this thang!

Do you know a Tesla is an electric car? Well this car has a very fast speed up to 190 mph. “That is a lot of speed”. And it can go from 0 to 60 in 2.1 seconds. Sometimes a Tesla or other electric cars can beat a Lamborghini. That's surprising! It's good that it's electric because it will not pollute the planet. If you have solar panels on your house, you can plug your electric car into your house and it will charge it for free and save you money. And that's the best part of it. You can save electricity and money by using solar panels. That's why a lot of people have solar panels on their house. The panels are very expensive, but they are worth it. You can save a lot of electricity, money and the planet!

Do you know how to save electricity? Here are some ways. When you leave a room, turn off the light and the tv. Don't take long showers that also use a lot of electricity. When it is day time and the sun is out, you don’t need to turn on the light. Just open the blinds or curtains. If you are done playing a video game, you should unplug it. Even if you turned it off and it is still plugged in, it still uses electricity. When it is night time and you're going to bed, make sure you turn off your light and your L.E.D lights. You're going to brush your teeth and make sure you don't keep the water running. Also, don’t keep the water running when you are using the bathroom. If you are ready to take a shower don’t leave the water running. That’s how you can save energy!

Imagine the world with less pollution. How can we do that by using less energy? One way to save energy would be to turn off the video games and play board games instead. We could read a book instead of going on the computer to read. If we use too much electricity, it's bad for the environment. Electricity comes from nonrenewable energy and that can dirty our world and cause more air pollution. Another way to save energy is, maybe choosing to get solar panels or windmills to power your homes. Did you know that most homes use about 28.9kwh per day? Wow, that's a lot! Another tip to save energy is to unplug what you are not using so you can save extra energy and money. If everyone in the world made small daily changes, we could help save energy and decrease the amount of air pollution.

Do you think you’re using too much energy? Well, you might be, but you don’t realize it. Maybe you’re leaving the lights on when you leave a room. Even though that may seem so unimportant, it is very important. When you leave a room but keep the lights on, it uses so much energy. Think back throughout the last couple of years when you left the lights on. All of those times could be enough energy to make a massive difference. You may remember to turn off the lights when you leave a room, but when you are in it, is it really necessary? What if it were daytime? If the sun is shining, then don’t turn on the lights. It’s really that easy. Don’t turn the lights on until it gets dark. When it is dark and you leave a room, remember to turn off the lights.

Did you know that using too much electricity is bad for the environment? And did you know you should unplug phone cords when you are not using them? If you live with your mom and dad, you should do them a favor and maybe turn off the TV or your room light. That will save electricity and money for the electricity bill. Save our earth and turn off the stuff that you are not using to help the world.

Did you know that sunlight, wind, and water are renewable energy sources? Yes!! They are renewable energy sources and can help the planet. They also don’t waste non- renewable energy sources. Another thing is that Renewable Energy sources do not pollute the earth unlike non- renewable energy. Solar energy is also free and cleaner. Also in many States, energy is very expensive. If you use Renewable Energy, it won’t cost as much. Other renewable energy sources are Hydro, Biofuel, and Geothermal, and all of those sources are all continually replenished. Renewable energy creates three times more jobs than fossil fuels. Save money. Save jobs. Save lives.

If you save electricity, you save money also. Did you know by turning off a light you save energy? You shouldn't use energy when you don’t have to. If you save electricity, you save the planet. For instance, if it is sunny, open a blind instead of using a light and when your device is fully charged, unplug the charger from the wall to save energy. And if you're taking a bath, use only the water you need or just take a shower. Instead of using a gas powered vehicle, ride a bike or buy an electric car. If you save energy, you also save the planet.

Did you know that recycling is helping the world recover from littering on the street? Nine billion tons of litter ends up in the ocean every year. Trash traps sea animals along with land animals so endangered animals are at risk of going extinct . They're getting stuck in the plastic and eating things they're not supposed to eat. If you recycle, you can save energy and electricity. You can also save our animals. The species can be endangered or could go extinct. We don't want that to happen because they're such beautiful creatures. Recycle. Reuse. Save our animals.
