Energy consumption and savings potential

# data[].attributes.body
- Electrical lighting accounts for 19 percent of the electrical energy generated worldwide
- Industrial and office lighting, sales lighting and street lighting account for 80 percent of this
- 20 percent on lighting in private households.
- Street lighting alone accounts for around one to two percent of the electricity demand in the EU
- However, street lighting accounts for up to 45 percent of public electricity consumption.
- It is estimated that lighting streets in this way wastes around five billion kWh per year across the EU

Thanks to intelligent control systems or night reduction that is relatively easy to implement, energy-efficient LED street lights can reduce energy consumption even further, namely by up to 85 percent.

An easy explanation and solution for the climate change

Emily Rüggeberg

The environmental problems directly related to energy production and consumption include air pollution, climate change, water pollution, thermal pollution, and solid waste disposal.
How is energy good for the environment?

Energy efficiency is good for you—and for the air you breathe, the water you drink, and the community in which you live. Saving energy reduces air and water pollution and conserves natural resources, which in turn creates a healthier living environment for people everywhere.

Climate change refers to the long-term changes in global temperatures and other characteristics of the atmosphere. Climate has changed throughout Earth's long history, but this time it's different. Human activity is causing worldwide temperatures to rise higher and faster than any time we know of in the past.

Climate Change means that the earth temperature is rising. The temperature has gotten about 1 degree celsius warmer in the last 100 years. It does sound not bad, but it‘s worse than you

Greenhouse gases affect earth’s energy balance and climate

# data[].attributes.body
The sun serves as the primary energy source for earth’s climate. Some of the incoming sunlight is reflected directly back into space, especially by bright surfaces such as ice and clouds, and the rest is absorbed by the surface and the atmosphere. Much of this absorbed solar energy is re-emitted as heat (longwave or infrared radiation). The atmosphere in turn absorbs and re-radiates heat, some of which escapes to space. Any disturbance to this balance of incoming and outgoing energy will affect the climate. For example, small changes in the output of energy from the sun will affect this balance directly.

The world’s largest forest is also the site of the biggest projected losses. More than one-quarter of the region will be without forests if trends continue. Cattle ranching and agriculture are the dominant causes of deforestation in most of the region.

Many animals are in danger of extinction for many threats: The illegal trade in skin and offspring, sports hunting, predator control and the overexploitation of their prey. Also, the loss of habitat due to deforestation of forested areas for forestry and mining purposes or for their transformation into agricultural and livestock areas.

Examples for the Animals in danger of extinction:

The polar bear.

The panda bear.

The elephant.

The whale.

The chimpanzee

The mountain gorilla.

The snow leopard.

The Sumatran tiger.

Good for the Environment that These Cars cant Produce Co2, because They dont need oil to can Drive .
The electric battery Pack Charge with electric Power does need stuff that is Not easy to get at this Point.
Like rainforests are getting dead because of the needed Things to build this are in the ground there.
There is one Car manufacturer named Tesla.
The founder of it, elon musk is one of the richest persons of the world.
He sell so many Cars every day and make so much Money, that He have at this day bilions of Dollars.
A few years before some people knows about Tesla but Nobody expected that Tesla is going around the world.

- China is considering lifting the national trade ban on tiger products
- this would be the death sentence for the 5,000 to 7,000 wild tigers worldwide
- Even today, poachers hunt the big cats to sell their skins and bones.
- Tiger bones in particular are still illegally used as a remedy in traditional Asian medicine.
- The habitat of the tiger covers only around five percent of its once huge distribution area in Asia
- In 1998, 1,200 tigers were still roaming the forests of Cambodia, Laos, Burma, Thailand and Vietnam. In 2010, 350 copies were fewer than ever before
- There are approximately 15,000 to 20,000 big cats in captivity living in zoos, circuses and on private property
- If the tigers in the wild are not massively protected in the next few years, they could become extinct in just a few decades

However, the continuing destruction of habitat in Southeast Asia, illegal poaching, the continuing demand for tiger body parts as souvenirs or in traditional Chinese medicine are threatening the last tigers on earth.

Radioactive waste is radioactive material that cannot be used or is no longer allowed to be used according to specifications. Most nuclear waste is generated by nuclear power plants, smaller amounts are generated in medicine and research.

The radioactive radiation from nuclear waste is extremely harmful to health, for example inhaling the smallest amounts of plutonium can lead to lung cancer.

Dumping radioactive waste in other countries can be very harmful to all of us.

Some radioactive waste decays within a few years, while other radioactive poisons have an extremely long half-life. This means that the residents in the countries can be irradiated and thus perhaps also the produced food that is traded worldwide. High intake can lead to death or cancer.

Global Warming means that the average temperature in the entire world is rising within a longer period of time. It‘s caused by human activities since the industrial revolution. These activities are for example cement production, deforestation as well as the burning of fossil fuels like coal, oil and natural gas.

Burning fossil fuels produces carbon dioxide, so it enters the atmosphere and destroys the ozone layer, which means that more sun rays reach the earth, so the average temperature is rising.

-   The impact of plastic on marine animals and seabirds is already visible.
- Plenty of plastic is found in the stomachs of many seabirds.
- The animals starve to death with full stomachs
- Plastic can get onto our plates through the mussels and fish

Plastic waste can get into the ocean in a number of ways. There it decomposes but is not completely dissolved and then the marine animals or birds eat it.
- Sea creatures can get caught in larger pieces of plastic – such as power supplies or plastic rings, but also bags. They are left injured or die in agony.
- Due to certain ocean currents, plastic waste accumulates in certain areas
- It not only forms plastic islands but also reaches deeper layers and the sea floor
- The largest repository is the Great Pacific Garbage Patch

Where does the plastic waste in the sea come from?
Ships illegally carry plastic into the sea and from cargo ships where something is lost. In addition, a lot of plastic waste gets into the sea through rivers and through the wind, which mainly blows thin bags into the sea.
- Car tire wear is also a very large source because of the microplastics.
- A total of 1 - 1.5 kg of microplastics are aborted per car tire. It is estimated that in Germany there are about 120,000 tons per year
- Another source is our washing machines, where fabrics made from synthetic materials shed tiny fibers that get into the water. reach.

In 2020 there were hundred thousands plastic pieces in every square meter. As a result of that animals that live in the ocean eat the plastic or get stuck in they so they get sick and die. And if you think it’s not too bad for us humans you’re wrong, the people who eat a fish eat the micro plastic that the fish ate automatically. We need to save the ocean, the animals and us!

Plastic harms the environment in a few ways. Everyone is using it and many of us throw it away wrongly, so it gets in our environment, especially into oceans. Unfortunately plastic sticks around in the environment for ages and it‘s able to threat wildlife and spread toxins, because animals accidentally eat it or get stuck in it and plastic can also release harmful chemicals.

A world without nature and environmental protection would also be difficult for us humans. The seas would continue to rise and the shores would sink. "As a result, our living space would continue to shrink, which would also lead to significantly more conflicts between humans and wild animals.

Bees are important for us, they polinate the flowers, trees and plants wich give us and our animals food. But their numbers a shrinking since the 1960. Farmers plant more crops from one kind rather than multiple flowers, and crops. Bees don´t get all the nutritions they need and get sick but we might have some solutions for these problems.
