SCIENTRICITY:Energizing Science Clubbers for Sustainable Energy

          Honestly, right now, I don't have an idea about the theme SCIENTRICITY. But as I try to think deeper about the theme, I realized what it truly want us to know, the Conservation of Energy.
          In addition to developing alternative sources of energy supplies can be extended by the conservation of currently available resources. There are three types of possible energy conservation practices may be described. The first type is CURTAILMENT, that is, doing without-for example closing factories to reduce the amount of power consumed or cutting back on travel to reduce the amount of gasoline burned. The second type is OVERHAUL. In here we can conserve energy by changing the way people live and the way goods and services are produced. Examples of it are slowing further suburbanization of society, using less energy-intensive materials in production processes, and also decreasing the amount of energy consumed by certain products such as automobiles. And lastly, the third type involves more efficient use of energy. This type of energy conservation focuses in adjusting to a higher energy costs. Examples investing in cars that go farther per unit of fuel, capturing waste heat in factories and reusing it, and also insulating houses. This third option requires less drastic changes in lifestyle, so governments and societies most commonly adopt it over the two options.
          Well, energy conservation just want to inform and remind us the proper usage of energy, on how we conserve it. Energy is neither created nor destroyed, so we must use it properly because resources are classified into two, the renewable and nonrenewable resources.Renewable resources are the may be replaced over time by natural processes. The goal of this is to ensure that such resources are not consumed faster than they are replaced. And nonrenewable resources are those in limited supply that cannot be replaced. So we must conserve energy. We must use it sustainably and properly. We must conserve energy right now. Not tomorrow but now! GO AND CONSERVE!
