Energy Conservation
Energy conservation is the act of saving energy by reducing a service. In other words, to conserve energy, you need to cut back on your usage. Examples include driving your car fewer miles per week, turning your thermostat down a degree or two in the wintertime and unplugging your computer or home appliances when they are not in use.
In all of these examples, you are reducing the amount of energy you use by doing without or making due with less fuel or electricity. While energy conservation might cut down on your comfort level and make things a bit less convenient, it can help reduce monthly heating and electricity bills and save money at the gas pump.
