What is Energy Conservation?

              Energy conservation means using less energy and avoiding excessive or wasteful uses.Energy efficiency, on the other hand, means using less energy while getting the same results. Efficiency is therefore a subset of conservation; one way to conserve energy is to use it more efficiently. The concept of doing more with less offers an approach that seems both feasible and affordable.



                 
Sometimes the two concepts are distinguished by how the savings are achieved. The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) says that “energy efficiency is technology-based” (compact fluorescent light bulbs, for example), while conservation “is rooted in behavior” (such as turning off unneeded lights). Moreover, the energy savings from efficiency are easier to predict, measure and especially to sustain, making efficiency easier to treat as an energy resource.1 This distinction, however, is not entirely clear cut; there are efficiency measures that rely on behavior, such as combining car trips to save gasoline.

Slogans for Energy Conservation

: :  You may not be able to produce energy, But You can definitely save energy.
: :  Spending energy is spending money. Do it wisely.
: :  Energy consumption is a burden on your purse. it is a burden on
      India's economy. It is a   burden on  Environment. 
: :  Conservation is only careful consumption.
: :  What is conservation? Consumption with care.
