Energy conservation renewable and non-renewable resources

As a member of the New Home Owners Association I know that energy is a big part of our lives. Every living thing needs energy to live. I feel as a home owner we should try to conserve both renewable and non-renewable resources. Then we won’t have to rely on other countries imports and we can be more self-sufficient.

What is renewable and non-renewable resources I’ve been looking into other ways to conserve energy her is some of the ways I have come up with. Renewable Resources is something that is continually replaced faster than we can use it up. Non-Renewable Resources are deep in the earth and have to be mined out.

Some of our renewable resources are solar energy which is where solar panel are installed on our property and collect sunlight and turn it into power for our houses because the panels harness energy to make the power for appliance and lighting and anything else that might need power.

Wind power also generates power from wind mills that can make energy to power houses but these can be noisy and if there is no wind it does not work

Biomass Fermentation I think this is fascinating because this where the farmer takes his leftover crops and mixes them with other things to make fuel for engines. I think I might like to try some of these resources.

Non-renewable resources are underground and cannot be replaced my man. The only way is for the earth to replenish it. The resources are Oil which we use in our cars lawnmower and other machines. Coal which some use for heating it is also used as cinders to put on the roads to melt the snow. Natural gas is what we use the most of it because it heats almost every building we go into. There is a drawback to these resources they have to be mined out of the earth which causes stripping the land and we have to conserve what we have...
