Energy Conservation Challenges

Energy is everywhere in your day. It heats your shower, lights your kitchen, charges your phone, and moves the bus you take to school. Most of that energy comes from power plants that burn fuel or use other resources. The less energy we waste, the less fuel has to be burned, the less pollution goes into the air, and the lower the bill at the end of the month. Energy conservation is the simple idea of using only what you actually need.
