5 Ways to Be an Active Part of a Clean Energy Future
October is National Clean Energy Month, a month dedicated to spreading awareness about clean energy and worldwide environmental action. This includes the needs for clean energy practices in one’s everyday routine and for clean energy access in both local and global communities.
Promoting clean energy worldwide is a great way to make the world a more sustainable place for all. This article will explain why it is so important to celebrate clean energy and how you can support clean energy in your own community.
What is Clean Energy?
Clean energy is a type of energy that has minimal or no negative impact on Earth’s environment. This energy produces little to no greenhouse gases, which provide a more sustainable alternative to fossil fuels and other dirty energy sources. Clean energy can not just decrease pollution, but it can also save energy when used efficiently.
Examples of Clean Energy
Around the world, many different clean energy sources help to promote a cleaner environment. Examples of clean energy include:
- Solar power
- Wind power
- Hydroelectricity
- Geothermal energy
- Bioenergy
In both local and global communities, it is important to promote not just clean energy, but also access to clean energy for all. Clean energy greatly impacts the health and well-being of our planet, as it helps to conserve the environment for a longer period of time. In doing so, clean energy (and access to clean energy) ensures that the Earth is in good condition to support the lives of not only present generations but generations to come.
5 Ways to Support Clean Energy in Your Community
Here are some ways that you can support clean energy in your own community:
- Advocate for clean energy in your community. Spread awareness on the need for clean energy around the world and be an active part of the movement by educating others.
- Volunteer. Support clean energy and related initiatives through volunteer work, community service, outreach, etc.
- Donate money and educational resources. Many organizations can use these resources to fund clean energy sources for the community, educate on clean energy, and spread the movement.
- Practice energy efficiency and encourage those around you to do the same. This includes turning off lights and electronics when not in use and being conscious of how much energy is being consumed among your community. Reducing energy usage can help fight the community’s carbon footprint, working against climate change.
- Use clean energy sources as much as you can. Switching entirely to clean energy practices over dirty energy practices can make a big difference. If not, then at least opting for clean energy usage where you can is better than not choosing clean energy at all. Look for ways in your everyday routine where you can substitute a dirty energy source with a clean one, and make it a habit to use this clean energy source instead.
