=**How people can use energy more efficiently**=

Lots and lots of energy is wasted. People leaving the T.V on, people keeping on video games, lights, and all electronics. I'm here to tell you how we can save all that energy that is being wasted. Some ways our energy is being wasted is leaving your T.V. on too long. Or leaving your radio on to long. Leaving any electronic on is wasting energy, lots of it. Recycling also conserves energy. It's sort of hard to explain the whole thing of how it saves energy, but here is one quick sentence. All of the energy it uses to make the things, like the Coke cans, it uses energy. By recycling, it conserves and doesn't use as much energy, because they are reusing the bottles, and the cans, and all the things we can recycle. Recycling is just one way of how we can conserve energy.

Another way to conserve energy is by turning out the lights, video games, T.Vs and all our electricity. How does this conserve energy? Well here is the whole way that we get to use our electricity. **Electricity is energy**. All the **machines** that go down in coal mines **take energy to power up**. Once the machines are down there, they get the coal. Once we get the coal, we **burn it**, **which takes up energy**. When it burns, it turns into steam, the steam powers an engine. called a turbine. The turbine powers a generator, which turns **mechanical energy into electric energy**. By turning electronics off, we don't have to use this process as much, which takes up **a** whole lot of energy. It also pollutes the air.

People have tried to save this energy. They have tried to have less people going into the coal mines and using up the energy to make electricity. People have used wind turbines. How do wind turbines work? The **wind turns the blades**. Which **spins a shaf**t. The shaft **connects to a generator**, and makes electricity.

Saving our electricity and energy is important. By recycling we don't waste energy. By turning off electronics we don't waste energy. We have to conserve this because, we only have so much. We only have so much coal in the ground. Once we've used our coal were done with it. That's why saving it is important. We only have so much electricity we can use on our coal. If we run out of coal, we'll have to use the wind turbines and what we have in our natural resources. So go out and make a difference. By saving energy is not just saving us, it's saving the people to come.

What will happen if we use up and waste our energy? I won't have the energy to be typing this essay. Cars won't be able to go because they won't have the fuel they need. We can't live without energy and electricity.
