“The earth, water and the air are not a gift to us from our parents but a loan from our children.” ---Anonymous

Energy resources have transformed human lives and lifestyles. Energy resources have allowed for human achievement and ambition to move from the potter’s wheel, farmer’s plough and the weaver’s loom to space missions and robots among others. However, the modern world looms in the shadow of a severe energy crisis: the result of unsustainable and inefficient use of energy resources.

Unsustainable and inefficient energy consumption threatens the very basis of life as we have come to know it. In the face of the increasing scarcity of energy resources it is imperative that we launch a committed, concerted and cumulative effort towards holistic energy use habits and sustainable consumption patterns.

Energy conservation most importantly means that conservation becomes an all pervasive habit, an everyday philosophy and practice that aims to reduce the consumption of fossil fuels, adoption of energy efficient lifestyles and fostering innovations in green and clean energy technologies.

D&NHPDCL invites suggestions, guidance, comments from citizens, self-help groups, environmental organisations towards developing Energy Conservation as a habit towards an energy secure future.

Sensible consumption is an ideal lifestyle to conserve energy. The people must be advised, alerted to avoid unnecessary wastage of electricity, oil etc. The children should be trained to use common sense in their daily life. There are lots of wastages of energy, water, and preciouse time around us. The need of the hour is make the people, the nation, energy conscious and responsible.

Switch off the lights in the day time. Plant more trees to curb air and noise pollution. Dispose waste materials properly. If wastes are biodegradable then form a compost pit and dump them and if these are non biodegradable then recycle or re- use them.

replacing all street lights to LED IN a timeframe as a first step many MW can be saved quickly then we can move to solar energy.because led is available. solar energy system to be installed takes much time.first conserve what is in hand. thanks

Smart Labels: Always buy desktops, laptops, printers, and scanners (and all-in-one devices) with the ENERGY STAR® logo. If you want a computer, tablet, or printer with fewer toxic materials that can be easily disassembled for recycling, check EPEAT's list of registered products. Take Control of Temperature Use Sunlight Wisely: Use sunlight wisely as per season to reduce your energy consumption.Use of energy effecient windows which avoid leakage of heat to or from the outside atmosphere.

Screensavers: Slideshows and other so-called "screensavers" represent another hidden predator: not only don't they "save" any energy, they actually increase your computer's energy consumption by making it work harder. Buyer's Tips: Desktop computers and monitors have access to a virtually endless energy supply through an electrical outlet and are therefore often not optimized for energy efficiency. But laptops/notebooks and tablets are designed to maximize their battery life.

Hibernate: Configure your computer to "hibernate" automatically after 30 minutes or so of inactivity. The "hibernate mode" turns the computer off in a way that doesn't require you to reload everything when you switch it back on. Allowing your computer to hibernate saves energy and is more time-efficient than shutting down and restarting your computer from scratch. This can reduce computer and monitor energy consumption by two-thirds.

Some "smart" power strips cut power to other devices automatically when a primary device is shut off. Many strips include "hot sockets" for devices like cell phone chargers to charge while other devices are turned off. Even when you think these products are off, their total "standby" consumption can be equivalent to that of a 75 or 100 watt light bulb running continuously. Set Computers to Sleep: Enable the "sleep mode" feature on your computer, allowing it to use much lower power during period

1. Switch It Off Turn Things Off When You're Done: A desktop computer running 24/7 can burn lot of electricity over five years, which is three times more than if it is put to sleep when unused. Make "switch it off when done" a smart household habit for all lights and devices, from computers to game consoles and TVs. 2. Unplug Try a Power Strip: Move electrical gear to a power strip so that you can easily switch off multiple devices at once when you're not using them.
