Saving Energy




Hi everyone,
While I was surfing on the internet, I found a very interesting site, it calls you to join them on their cause for saving energy.

You must have heard people talking about this matter many times before, but I doubt that it ever caught your interest or made you really change your habits or adapt new habits that would save energy.

This web site is REALLY different, it is very exciting and brings you to the core of the problem, it shows you how you by changing your habits and adapting new ones would change things in numbers. For instance, it shows you how much money you would save if you go to your work on a bike three days a week, it also tells you how much the equivalent energy saved by you can do in other fields (like charging your laptop or providing a hospital with energy).

The nicest thing in the site is the game, yes you can play a game where you have a city in 2015 and you have to provide it with enough energy, you get to choose between all sources: nuclear, hydro, natural gas, etc. Anyway, you have to watch out for three meters: Economic, Environmental and Security, you have to balance the three meters to get the highest score, it is really nice and will teach you something as well.

Go to the site here
To play the game choose energy ville.

  2. Well first I have to admit that I enjoyed the game :D
    but really I am thinking about doing anything like not leaving the lights open if not needing them. Turn off my computer if not needing it as well as the TV.
    Things like that ??
