We all know that renewable energy with solar can save substantial amounts, but it can also help save the environment in several different ways. They include:
Reducing Air Pollution/Improving Health
When fossil fuels are burned to create electricity, they create a lot of pollutants. No need to remind you how bad that is. Renewable energy harnesses the power of the sun and cleanly creates electricity. Cleaner air means healthier lungs, and that’s good for all of us.
Reducing Water Usage
If electricity isn’t being generated from fossil fuels, it’s likely that water is involved, like with hydropower or nuclear power – both of which can bring significant impacts on the local ecosystem. Just a little water to clean them a couple times a year and you’re good!
Reducing Dependence on Fossil Fuels
Solar is renewable because the sun comes up every day to power the cells and create electricity. However, fossil fuels are non-renewable because they will eventually run out and scarcity can present economic and environmental problems.
Helping Fight Climate Change
By reducing CO2 emissions, and lessening the amount of pollutants released into the air by choosing renewable energy to produce your electricity, you’ll be doing your part to help slow down climate change.
