Electricity Used Within 24 Hours



Save Electricity



          Within 24 hours I used many things that required electricity. I never just paid attention to how many objects a person uses throughout the day that requires electricity. Honestly, I do not feel like I could go a day without it. I am just going to tell what I did within a 24 hour period:

Took a steaming hot shower

Washed and dried my laundry

Talked on my cell phone

Watched television

Used my lap top to do homework assignments

Vacuumed my carpet

Used air conditioning in the house

Cooked on the stove

Drunk a cold beverage from the refrigerator

Ironed my clothes

Played the Xbox 360 connect

            After I took the foot print quiz a couple of weeks ago I started trying to use less electricity. When I walk out of a room, I started cutting the light off even if I was coming right back. I try to unplug anything that I am not using. For example, if my cell phone is not charging, I would take the plug out of the wall. I normally fall asleep and leave the television on. Doing that is electricity wasted for no reason. I cannot watch anything if I am asleep. Whenever you have something plugged in a circuit, you are using electricity, even if there is nothing connected to it. Whenever I take a shower it is at least 20 minutes. I did not realize I was using electricity just to take a shower. You have to have electricity in order for the water to be hot.  A lot of times a person does not even realize when he or she is using unnecessary electricity. At this day and age almost everything a person enjoys doing is some way or another related to electricity. Thank God for Thomas Edison! (304)
