There are many ways you can use less electricity right now. Standby Power is an issue not well-known in India, however is becoming a huge problem. About 0.5 to 0.25 watts of electricity used by an appliance when it is on standby power. Standby Power not only wastes money, it has a large environmental impact. About 25% of the energy used by a television is used when the television is turned off. Data for the current study were collected at ‘Shree Chhatrapati Shivaji High School, Jasai’, a rural area from Uran, Dist- Raigad. Power consumption was measured by existing author using electronic energy meter. Awareness towards electricity saving in students was created by existing arranging a half day workshop. Switching to LED lighting can save 40% to 70% of the electricity. Today’s energy efficient bulbs are available in the wide range of colours and light levels you’ve come to expect. While the initial price of energy efficient bulbs is typically higher than traditional incandescent light bulbs, newer bulbs cost less to operate, saving you money over the life of the bulb. Many of the newer bulbs lat significantly longer than traditional bulbs, so you won’t need to replace them as often. Using solar light also helps to save electrical energy at home.
