20th March 2012 - The dawn of the 21st century saw tectonic shifts in the earth’s environment which, thanks to modern technology and its various weapons, has only risen in the past few decades!
Environmental problems like oil spills, hazardous waste, loss of rain forests, endangered species, acid rain, and the ozone layer depletion have only exhausted our natural resources.
With increased awareness regarding such sensitive issues, individuals have taken a step forth in creating Homemade Energy to save exhaustible resources and contributing in mending the frayed environment.
This form of energy is actually gaining popularity owing to its simplicity and implied cost reduction. It basically refers to various ways in which you can curtail the usage of limited resources like coal, by preparing your own energy saving devices with minimal cost and maximum efficacy. The best example of building such devices is that of a solar panel and wind power generators. By building your own solar panels and wind turbines, you can take advantages of the natural resources available in abundance. It will prove beneficial to use renewable energy without any chances of increasing global warming.
Just like you prepare food at home, by assembling a mixture of ingredients, similarly you can create energy at home by combining a few required components. This will not only reduce your electricity cost but will also decrease numerous other expenses which you incur on fixing household electrical appliances.
There are several other methods to create energy at home through which you can help the environment benefit. Biomass energy is one of them, which is derived from five distinct energy sources: garbage, wood, waste, landfill gases, and alcohol fuels. It can be used directly as a fuel or as an additive to gasoline. Biogas is another option which typically refers to a gas produced by the natural breakdown of organic matter in the absence of oxygen. Organic waste such as dead plant material, animal dung, and kitchen waste can be converted into biogas or bio fuel and can be effectively used in cooking, water heating etc.
Using green or homemade energy allows you to not only save money but also our planet. Individuals must undertake this responsibility of shielding the environment because modern technology, owes an apology to the ecology.
