SCIENTRICITY: Energizing Science Clubbers for Sustainable Energy

          Every month of September, we celebrate the Science month and the Philippine Society of Youth Science Clubs (PSYSC) introduced this year’s theme which is SCIENTRICITY. The word is a combination of two words which are Science and electricity. The PSYSC as the largest umbrella of science clubbers in the country has its role to induce students and teachers to the conservation of energy.

                Electricity is very important in the world. We can find energy everywhere. We all use energy to do work. We are now living in a modern world and there were different things that were invented and make our life better. Washing machines, computers, oven, electric fans, air conditioners, and other inventions made to help us accomplish our daily tasks and also gave us faster and easier work are really helpful yet they cannot function without the presence of electricity. We can see how our society has become a power-defendant. Simple things or tasks such as waking up on a designated time or just to enjoy listening to some piece of music requires us the use of electricity. See, how electricity affects our lives? It was really a constantly developing technology so we should conserve and use it wisely.

Here are some was to conserve energy:

1. Turn off the lights when you leave the room.
2. Unplug things when you are not using them.
3. Turn off the television.
4. Open shades instead of turning on lights.
5. Change to CF or LED lights
6. Instead of leaving your computer on all the time, turn it off or at least the monitor
7. Line dry your clothing
8. Cleaning the coils on your refrigerator.
9. Put large jugs of water in your freezer. 
10. Keep the heat down if you have electric energy.
11. Turn outdoor motion lights off if you do not need them or turn down the sensitivity.
12. Try using a Solar Cooker once
13. Install solar panels
14. When cooking, use a lid to keep the heat in.
15. Install a Tankless water heater
16. Buy a hand can opener instead of wasting electricity on the plugin version
17. Put wrap on your windows to conserve energy
18. Stay away from high power usage TV models
19. Use power strips and turn off the entire strip when not in use.
20. Buy a solar power battery charger. 

Now we should  THINK, ACT and SAVE! Cause if we don't, we will suffer the consequences.
