What are the environmental consequences of the increasing demand for energy ? What steps would you suggest to reduce energy consumption ?

Explanation

The demand of energy is increased due to the industrialisation all over the world. Fossil fuels are easily accessible sources of energy that fulfils this demand. The increased use of fossil fuels has a harsh effect on the environment.
The burning of fossil fuels causes air pollution and releases large amount of carbon dioxide which results in global warming. By the industrial wastes in environment it causes air, water and soil pollution
So, we should use these resources in optimum quantity. We should not waste the energy. We should use alternate source of energy such as solar energy.
