Mention the effects of the growing energy demand on the environment. Give four recommendations for lowering energy consumption.

Increasing the demand for energy is leading to the rapid consumption of fossil fuels, which are exhaustible sources of energy. Burning of fossil fuel at a rapid rate leads to the release of harmful gases into the atmosphere, which can lead to global warming and acid rain.
Steps to reduce the consumption of energy:
1) We must develop healthy habits like using public transport instead of private vehicles.
2) We must make people aware of their limited quantity and use them judiciously.
3) We must harness non-conventional sources of energy.
4) Shut down computers whenever there is no need, turn off lights, use LED bulbs, and use a power strip to reduce your plug load.
