21st July 2011 - If there is a desire to then there is a possibility that in some little way everyone can do something that would benefit the planet in which we live.
At the present moment of time, one of these actions could be to shift our usage from the conventional energy sources to the green or Home Made Energy.
This means to go for the sustainable and renewable energy sources like the wind and sun – done by making homemade solar panels or wind generators. Although this might seem impossible but a number of energy guides have come up which allow almost anyone to build their own alternate energy contraptions.
This fact cannot be denied that our reliance on the conventional sources of energy is fast depleting this planet.
Moreover, the waste and poisonous gases that they enhance in the environment are creating an additional adverse effect. Some think that going for a fuel efficient car or a Prius can help them do their part.
This is true to an extent but going for these conventional energy sources is a lot cheaper and easier. There are a number of additional benefits that the users can enjoy.
The first pro is quite obvious – saving a lot of money in the long run. By building individual wind turbines and solar panels, it is possible for users to save quite a lot of cash that is usually spent on their power bills.
As these two sources are quite abundant, there would be no shortage of power either.
Another benefit is that this task of building the turbines and panels can be turned into a weekend task or project for the family. Here, everyone could participate and learn the benefits that are there of green energy.
This can even be made into a society project thereby ensuring that each family in the colony is green energy conscious.
The last benefit of going for Home Made Energy sources is the pride which is felt on knowing that you have done something that is one giant step into doing something for the planet and being an example for others.
