Conservation Plans

Hello viewers, if you are seeing this, you are most probably on my blog! Thanks for reading!

        Okay, now for some seriousness. There are a lot of things that we can do to save energy, or just saving the Earth in general. Ontario (a province or state in Canada) is doing a lot to save our priceless energy which we use everyday. Here is an interesting statistic that I found in an article: "Ontario has shut down 8 coal units so far and plans to shut down all remaining units by 2014". To keep our lights on at night, Ontario has started upgrading our old power plants and making them more eco-friendly, but in the process making it produce more than twice the energy it did before. That means shutting down coal plants that cause air pollution and moving to much cleaner sources of electricity. (More efficient energy also means you don't need to pay as much as you did for the coal plants!)

       That is what Ontario is doing. So what can you and/or your community do? After all, everything starts with an idea, and who knows, you might have an idea that might do the world a lot of good!
