Across the globe, we use energy for transportation, cooking, heating and cooling rooms, manufacturing, lighting, entertainment, and many other uses. The choices people make about how they use energy—turning machines off when they’re not using them or choosing to buy fuel-efficient vehicles and energy-efficient appliances—affects the environment and our lives.
Energy efficiency and conservation strategies lead to significant cost savings for individuals and companies. They also lead to reduced use of fossil fuels, which is necessary in lowering the greenhouse gas emissions that are contributing to the current climate crisis.
