"Scientricity: Energizing Science Clubbers for Sustainable Energy."


"We don't know what can happen in the future until future becomes present and present becomes history." 

We are now living in a modern world full of new inventions or more known as technology. Technology is one way of having our work done faster and it requires for them electrical energy to be able to work. However, our electrical energy is only limited. Thus, there is a need for us to save or conserve energy.


Televisions, computers, radios, charger of our different gadgets, and other appliances that we are using everyday requires electrical energy. Since it is only limited, we need to save. Here are some ways of saving energy:


*Switch off. When lights are not in use or necessarily need to be used, switch off.

*Unplug. After using an appliance in home, make sure to unplug it. Also, don't overload circuit. It may cause fire.
*Clean your air conditioners atleast once a month.
*Use less.

Here are also some other ways in saving energy by http://www.cpsenergy.com/Residential/Energy_Efficiency/



  • Set your thermostat between 78 and 80 degrees during warm months. During colder months, a thermostat setting of between 68 to 70 degrees is recommended.
  • Use a programmable thermostat to manage your daily heating and cooling needs. Try a free CPS Energy Savers Smart Thermostat.
  • Try ceiling or portable fans to circulate air and make a room feel cooler.
  • Turn off the television, fan and lights or lamps when you leave a room.
  • Buy CFLs to replace less-efficient incandescent bulbs. Go with the Fluo! 
  • Purchase energy-efficient appliances and products. Check the Energy Guide label and look for the ENERGY STAR® logo when purchasing these items. Take advantage of our home efficiency rebates!
  • Turn off or unplug electronic devices, such as computers, power tools, cell phone chargers, digital cameras, and MP3s, when they are not being used.
  • Reduce your use of hot water – take short showers, use cold water to wash clothes, etc.
  • Try natural gas instead -- Gas water heaters, dryers, and cooktops are more energy efficient than their electric counterparts. Consider a Natural Gas Rebate 
  • Perform a home energy audit, through CPS Energy Savers, to reduce common inefficiencies.

In those simple ways, we just didn't save money for our electric bill but also, we helped in saving energy.

Because when the time comes that electrical energy is already used up, we will all face the consequences. We may be back again to the traditional way. Using candles and lamps for night light, fans to give cool breeze of air and other more. Also, using candles for night light is dangerous for it may cause fire.


All together let us work as one. Save energy for the future generations.
