Almost every person learned about energy sources
at school. Some of the sources are renewable
some are not. But one fact is important. We are all faced with energy
crisis and we all have to be worried about that.
We have to think how many electrical devices do we have in our
houses. A lot. All these devices use a great amount of electricity. What can we
do to change this disturbing situation? We can save power in our houses! How?
Is your washing machine old?
Then it may be costing you money, as the following recent report found:
“….in order to achieve the same washing performance as a modern machine does in a 40 °C wash, a 15-year-old washing machine must be operated in a 60 °C programme, and a 30-year-old one in a 90 °C programme (on average). By contrast, on average a 15-year-old washing machine requires approximately twice as much energy and water as a new one to achieve the same level of performance, and a 30-year-old washing machine about four times as much.”
