Solar and a cleaner world

Climate change is now a scientific fact, and man is the culprit. Burning fossil fuels, using nuclear power, and other finite energy sources has proven that the world’s energy policies were incredibly short-sighted. Renewable forms of energy are now available at rates that are less than ever before. In addition to saving the environment, installing solar saves individuals, families, and companies significant amounts of money. At the same time, these consumers are empowered to take other steps to become more ecologically responsible citizens. But the most important result of solar power is the decrease in pollution. China and India are the world’s biggest polluters, but fortunately, they are leading the charge on renewable energy.

What can we do to “live cleaner?”

Public transportation: Encourage people to use more public modes of transportation to reduce pollution. If possible, try to make use of carpooling. If you and your co-workers live in the same vicinity you can explore this option to save energy and money.

Conserve energy: Turn off lights and household gadgets when you are going out. Large amounts of fossil fuels are burnt to produce electricity. You can save the environment from pollution by reducing the amount of fossil fuels burned. Consolidate trips and try to drive as efficiently as possible.

Reduce, reuse and recycle: Do not throw away items that are no longer of use to you. If possible, reuse them for some other purpose. For example, glass jars make excellent containers for food items and miscellaneous household materials. 

Clean energy resources: Clean energy technologies like solar, wind and geothermal are more popular than ever before.  Governments of various countries have been providing grants to consumers who are interested in installing solar panels for their home. This will help greatly to curb greenhouse gas emissions. There are sometimes other financial incentives from private corporations and government entities.

Use energy efficient devices: CFL lights consume less electricity than old-fashioned filament-based bulbs. They last longer, consume less energy, lower electricity bills and also help you to reduce pollution by consuming less energy.

Installing solar is the most profound way to impact global warming

But the most important of all those factors is to install a solar energy system for your home or business. By generating your own power, you save money and contribute to a cleaner world. Depending on the size of your solar installation, you may be able to sell power back to the grid. Large-scale solar operations are increasingly common in the arid desert Southwest and this makes a significant impact on pollution reduction while producing huge amounts of power. Several attempts are being made worldwide on a personal, industrial and governmental level to curb the intensity at which air pollution is rising. This is an intense effort on the part of a small group of organized individuals who believe that man can begin to reverse the damaging effects of pollution on the earth.
