“Energy conservation is the foundation of energy independence.”-Thomas H. Allen

Since 1991, 14^th of December is being celebrated as National Environment Conservation Day every year in India. The ultimate goal of this day is to create awareness among public regarding the significance of energy conservation. Energy requirements increases day by day as the population of the world grows. With increase in demand for resources, fear of destruction also increases, it’s time for us to pay attention on energy conservation and invent new resources to replace as the whole human civilization will be in danger if we keep on destroying resources every day.

In the year 2001, BEE – Bureau of Energy Efficiency implemented The Energy Conservation Act in India with aim of creating awareness and to showcase India’s achievement in energy efficiency and conservation. Energy conservation is nothing but making use of available resources wisely and not wasting natural and manmade resources unnecessarily. Usually this day is celebrated by conducting programs like debates, discussions, speeches etc. that gives common people knowledge and awareness on energy conservation. As the population grows rapidly, there is huge demand for resources like crude oil, natural gas, fossil fuels. Being a responsible citizen one should take this issue seriously and take possible approaches to conserve energy in our day to day activities
