It is generally accepted that we can prevent earth’s deterioration if we achieve a renewable energy world. When we hear the word renewable energy we normally think of state-of-the art equipments and high-end technology. But, we can start today. Simple acts can help jumpstart the initiative of saving our planet.

When we come to think of it, our major energy source comes from fossil fuel and as we all know the use of fossil fuel emits harmful substance to our environment. And every time we use it, we contribute to the slow deterioration of planet earth. Because in almost everything that we do we use energy and most of the times we do not value this. We waste a lot of energy without thinking that if we continue this unconscionable use of energy, there will come a time when our entire energy source will be fully depleted.

Our simple use of television, washing machine, and various appliances may be a form of waste in energy. If you analyze it the appliances works for you while you sit down watching the television. Even simple chores that we can perform on our own we still tend to rely on using our appliances and that is a big waste in energy.

But most of all I believe our cars are worst in depleting our energy and harming our environment. Not only does it deplete fossil fuel through

the use of gas but it also is notorious in emitting harmful substances in the atmosphere. In our present time we can’t deny that cars are necessity because we now tend to travel much compared in the primitive times. But we can still do something to minimize the damage. We can prefer to use the public transportation instead of bringing our car. The use of alternative vehicles may also help like bicycle for example or walking especially if we are only going to a place nearby.

We don’t need to be a rocket scientist just to promote a renewable energy world all we need are simple steps in conserving energy in our daily lives. Not only we help protect our mother earth, but also we save a lot of bucks by going green.

Currently, oil and fossil fuel are the primary source of our energy needs. Although generation / exploration of these energy sources are generally easy and most profitable, it is not renewable and will deplete in the long run. That is aside from the environmental damage that it creates from its exploration to its final use.

Fortunately we now have an emerging alternative. An alternative that is friendly to the environment and clean. Not only that, it is renewable. As of now scientists are on their way to discover cheaper generation cost and efficiency to this technology. But definitely, this is the energy of the future. But what are the sources of renewable energy? Let us look at some:

The sun not only gives us light at daytime but it is a major renewable energy source. In fact even in the old times they already harness the power of the sun for hot water and power for some appliances with solar panel. Aside from the sun we also generate renewable energy from the wind. Turbines converts to electricity the force that the wind turbines collect from the wind.

Biomass is also one of the sources seriously developed by the scientists. This normally comes from living organisms. Now a lot of discoveries are directed from this method. Among those closely studied by scientists is Hydrogen because it is the element most abundant in our planet. The only problem is how to breakdown the hydrogen particle from other elements. For example, water (H2O)

When waterfalls are sourced for energy, normally it is through Hydropower which uses water turbines for the utilization of the kinetic energy that the water brings from the top of the waterfalls.

The advancement of technology allows us to discover a lot of things and utilize the available resources for our renewable energy. Come to think of it, most our energy sources are available in our day to day lives. This is a high time for us to switch to renewable energy. So what are you waiting for? Use renewable; energy , save the environment towards becoming a renewable energy world.
