Save Power and Save Earth

Pollution has been increased drastically and has negative effects on human health. The entire human life on earth is on danger. The below cartoon in eenadu news paper depicts the same

One of the key reasons of increased pollution is thermal power plants where coal is burnt for generating electricity.




It is observed that the overall efficiency of the power system is 17% when measured w.r.t coal input. Therefore If I save one unit of electrical energy, then indirectly I save 6 to 7 units of coal and thus reduce Pollution. So finally I say "SAVE POWER & SAVE EARTH"
