This global event is meant to highlight society’s dependence on energy, and the importance of energy consumption. It focuses on making people aware of global warming and climate change and promoting efforts towards saving energy resources.
Reserves of all conventional forms of energy are fast depleting and current energy production is a significant source of pollution. However, every day the human population across the world uses energy to lead a civilized life. So there lies the need for energy conservation. The United Nations (UN) states that if we continue at our current rate, by 2040, we will be using twice as much oil and gas as what remains available for us to use.
