Energy Consumption 

 

One of the biggest environmental concerns at Penn State, and any college campus for that matter, is mass energy consumption. We waste tons of energy everyday without even realizing it. Most of us do not even think to unplug or electronics when we aren't using them, or we often forget to switch off the light in our dorms before heading out. Simple actions do not seem to be a big deal; however, it is. 

 

Leaving our electrical appliances plugged when not in use wastes 10% of energy, which leads to the loss of precious natural resources and pollution, which is significantly detrimental to our environment.
