The Need For Alternative Energy Sources

The Need For Alternative Energy Sources Image
The importance of Alternative energy sources can be gauged from the fact that energy needs are rising and energy sources are shrinking. Now there is a desperate need to invest more into alternative and more importantly eco friendly energy sources. The rate at which this world is developing in terms of technology and increased energy use, there is a dire need to find and utilize alternative energy sources. This is not only imperative to keep this planet green and let it breathe easy but also to fulfill the energy needs. Thanks to the innovation in technology in the realm of alternative energy we now have so many products tailored for different everyday needs.

When it comes to solar energy the best thing about it is that it can be used to power portable devices like a calculator, battery charger, Solar radios, solar cookers, portable solar refrigerator, outdoor lights and batteries, and UPS and generators etc. The list is wide and new alternative energy products are being made daily. This is not only because solar energy is available almost everywhere around the globe but it's also convenient. How is this eco- friendly? Looking at all these devices they require batteries made from lead and other compounds. Once the batteries were used they needed to be discarded. But this led to extra waste which was toxic for the environment. Not any more with solar powered devices as the energy is renewable.

SPREADING THE AWARENESS OF ECO-FRIENDLY METHODS


We need to market these eco friendly products and include these in the Go green campaigns frequently so that more and more people switch to these green products. But the manufacturers need to put in extra effort to ensure they make quality products so that the trust of consumers is developed in these green products. They can sponsor some Go green campaign and gain the trust of the people and also create awareness among people to go for green and eco-friendly products. This will not only increase their reliability but also serve as a marketing campaign for their products.

Apart from those big names in companies, politics, media and the social sector also need to take a lead in the go green campaign. Not only do they have a big following but also the resources to create awareness in people to use green sources of energy. It is a well known fact that brands and actors have a huge appeal and their fans will follow their example if they themselves start using green products. Not only should they run go green campaigns but also use every platform to say a few words about our responsibility to save this world from the global warming and destruction which endangers it. This will go a long way in making an impact and change how people think. Now is the time to start using alternative energy sources and also encourage others to do so.

Every big success had a modest starting but gradually it caught the fancy of the whole world. So if we begin now to make this world greener by planting trees, cutting on wasteful use of electricity and fuels and using green sources we surely have a brighter future for the coming generations.
