Why develop energy efficiency in Southern Africa?The world is facing and energy shortage, and the space age that we are living in is reliant on energy for just about everything that we do or touch today. Take a minute and think about, what action in your daily routine does not require electrical energy whether it being some forms of stored energy or directly from a wall socket. South Africa is facing an energy crisis that if not controlled will cause the whole country to plummet into darkness due to an overload on the electrical grid, every little bit of energy that you can save will make a difference. A good comparison is a bucket of water, with enough drops of water the bucket can be filled. Lastly we all have an obligation to our planet and the future of our kids, by being more efficient we will burn less fossil fuels thus reducing carbon emissions and leaving some fossil reserves for the future.
