Below is How To Save Electricity At Home In South Africa
People need to start thinking of new and innovative ways of saving energy.
South Africa and the rest of the world are all contributing to global warming without using proper energy-saving techniques. Did you know that over 90% of South African energy comes from non-renewable sources?
These energy sources include oil, gas, and coal and if we are not careful and don’t start implementing techniques for saving energy, these sources will eventually run out.
Remember that if we use less energy, our non-renewable energy source will last longer in the future, and we will notice the positive effects it has on our delicate environment.
