Question 10.
Explain the following sentences
Saving energy is the need of the hour.
Answer:
Conserving energy is the need of the hour because the sources that provide energy for the generation of electricity are being depleted faster than they are being regenerated. The energy resources are being over-consumed. Also, using non-renewable energy sources have a negative impact on the environment. If this problem is overlooked, the future generations will be deprived of electricity, as the non-renewable resources of energy are exhaustible and cannot be replenished naturally. Each and every individual should come forward and contribute to saving energy. By improving on our day to day habits of using electricity, like properly managing electrical appliances, one can reduce the cost of their electricity bills which as an end result can help in conserving energy too.
