Why conserve energy?
Although we are starting to use sources like water, the sun and wind to get energy, non-renewable fossil fuels like coal, oil and natural gas are still used to supply more than 90% of the world's energy. Burning fossil fuels is the single largest source of greenhouse gases. The release of enormous quantities of these gases results in global warming and climate change, which increasingly puts us, and future generations at risk.
