'MULTIPLICATION FACTOR' : - World Environment Day #June5

CARBON FOOTPRINT :-

A Carbon footprint is nothing but the set of Greenhouse gases emissions caused by an individual, event,product or organization it is often referred to as Carbon Emission.

When it comes to environment we do lots of debate about environmental protection, took oath about it, do plannings about planting the trees, attend seminars and all, but really how many of us individually took efforts for it? 

Environmental protection does not mean that unless you do some big things it could not affect at all.

Its not true if we follow some rules and change some of our habits it could definitely make effective action towards Environmental Protection.

Dude, we are 7 Billion people on Earth!!!  

Why can"t we make a change??

Do you know the electricity sector involves the generation, transmission and distribution of electricity. Carbon dioxide makes up a vast majority of greenhouse gas emission from these sector.

 The logic is simple if we use less electricity and try to save more electricity then generation of electricity will be lesser which will also reduce the carbon emission from the power plants.

Coal Power plant

 Let me give you an example,

we often have a habit if we are doing some work in a room and of course we need some break for a while and we go out to chill but carelessly we keep lights, fans or air conditioner On.

Suppose a person goes out for one hour means 60 minutes till then these all electrical appliances are on.If some one alerts you about these then we think that "what big will happen if i kept electricity on for an hour?"

That means we think about that one hour we say ' Let it be!!'

I am going to tell you Multiplication factor:-

1). Fan consumes 100 watts of power per hour.

2). A tube light consumes 40 watts of power per hour.

3). An air conditioner consumes 1000 watts of power.

It means that person has wasted 1140 watts power in just one hour!!!

This may be a small figure for you because a power plant generates more than a Megawatts of power, then what's the big deal if only 1140watts power is wasted?

Suppose this person repeats it for 365 days a year then

365days*1140watts=416.1 Kilo watts or 416.1 units of your electricity.

 Now suppose these mistake is repeated by 10 crore people in India

416.1 units*10000000=4161000000 units per year wasted!!

 Now this was just an example just think 1.25 billion population lives in India and 7 Billion population of world. How much of electricity we waste everyday due to our laziness and carelessness.

My point of view was to make you believe that instead of wasting time on the debates and seminars of environmental protection, if we start from ourselves by saving electricity as much as we can then demand for electricity will get reduced and hence will reduce the carbon emission from power plants.Because most of the electricity is being used for household use.

 Thank you for having patience to read these simple logic of saving electricity. Have a Good Day.
