Various effects of Energy crisis

• Environmental Effects


• Increasing prices of fuel resources


• Political Disturbances


• The effect on the tourism industry

Energy conservation

• Move towards renewable resources


• Buy energy-efficient products


• Lighting controls


• Easier Grid Access


• Energy simulation


• Perform Energy audit


• Common Stand on Climate Change

WHAT IS BEING DONE TODAY?

There are many global initiatives that are working towards resolving the energy crisis. This has taken the form of increased regulation and restriction of carbon emissions. the promotion of greener manufacturing and construction projects, the funding research into hybrid technologies, and more.

Locally, more communities are seeing beyond the recycle bin, and that how the communities uses their local resources is important too. More communities gardens, parks, and farmer's markets are springing up not only as a means of introducing more sustainable elements into people's life but as an essential part of educating the public about the importance of resources.
