Climate change is not only a problem for polar bears. Every Singaporean should be concerned. Here is what we might face:
- Rise in sea level
- Hotter days and nights
- Higher food prices due to climate change in countries we import food from
- Change of weather patterns, such as more frequent heavy rainfall
- Resurgence and spread of infectious diseases
Conserving energy does not mean changing your lifestyle drastically. You do not need to read under moonlight or take cold showers just to save electricity at home. Instead, energy conservation today is all about energy efficiency: doing the same things with just a fraction of the energy. It is about doing more with less.
A home energy audit is one good way of assessing how efficient a household is in its energy usage.
