The challenge this generation faces is the difficulty of changing old routines to preserve the planet. It may seem impossible but in reality it is simply difficult so it can be done. Reducing fossil fuel production is easy; the first steps are to reduce the amount of energy your old home uses. This can be done in a variety of things, namely; reduce the use of electronic devices such as televisions and computers. Turning these appliances off when not in use will also double the energy you save when you turn these appliances off, then plug them into a surge protector and turning it off will greatly reduce the energy consumption of these items. Another option to reduce your energy consumption is to buy solar panels, yes they are expensive but once they are paid off they start generating money. So there is no reason not to install them, they are one of the greatest inventions to prevent excessive energy consumption
