USE ENERGY WISELY

Using electricity or driving a car does have an effect

on the environment, but by using energy wisely we

can prevent waste and reduce carbon dioxide (CO2)

emissions.

CO2 is a greenhouse gas that accumulates in the

Earth’s atmosphere, trapping heat from the sun and

keeping the planet warm. CO2 comes, in part, from

the burning of fossil fuels, such as coal and gasoline,

to generate electricity for use in our homes and to

power our cars.

The amount of CO2 in our atmosphere has increased

over the past century, and the majority of scientists

questioned in a recent international study agree that

global temperatures have risen dramatically compared

with levels from the 1800s, with human activity being

a signiﬁcant contributing factor. According to the

International Energy Agency, a warmer Earth may lead

to changes in rainfall patterns, a rise in sea level, and a

wide range of impacts on plants, wildlife, and humans.

A good way to visualize CO2 is to imagine that 1 pound

of CO2 would ﬁll up 710 soda cans (12oz), or a box

2-feet high, 2-feet wide, and 2-feet deep.

Belkin Conserve products can help you do your part to

use energy wisely.

Use Less, Save More, Feel Good.

Facts gathered from a study conducted by the University

of Illinois, the International Energy Agency, and the U.S.

Environmental Protection Agency.
