Mumbai is abuzz with drives to save electricity. We have faced more energy problems in the last one year, than last five years put together. I studied energy crisis, green house effect, global warming etcetra in school. Was scared to see The Day After Tomorrow and An Inconvenient Truth (of Al Gore).
Mumbai drains a lot of electricity. Reports say that Mumbai’s demand strains the supply. High levels are meeting to discuss the issues – to decide if the city will face more load shedding or not, and the supply to other parts of the state. And earlier government had said Mumbai will not face problems.
Amongst all this, Mumbaikars are getting more aware of the problems. Billboards are sporting “I will (save electricity), Mumbai will” ads. We are putting of lights when not needed, and we are switching off the television after watching.
Save Power! I will, Mumbai will!
Somedays back there was nice discussions going on ‘Save Energy’ on http://planet.debian.org
– LCDs can save 60% of power than CRTs
– CFLs are much better than normal Tubelights and Bulbs. Actually, they have more capacity to give light (unit is candela or something I forgot..) than same watt capacity of tube/bulbs
What can we do at Magnet?
Suggestions:
– Auto-off moniter at 1 minutes
– Throw all CRTs! Except where needed..
– Turn off lights — I suggest to use LDR for watch 😉 (Remember YSC days!!)
– Give all Saturday off 😉
Hi
Its very good to be my fellow brother and sister indians come out during the time of energy crisis and says i will do….. to save electricity. I am proud for them and because of them i am proud to be an indian but at the same time i urge these fellow brothers and sister that till when are we going to have this shit from our politicians. When will they come out and say ” I Will fulfill and discharge my duties ethically”. Its because of these Corrupt politician that Mumbai has come to this situation.. thanks to them but guys wake up or time will come that we will say ” i will not have bath or dress or clean teeth or…….” We will Stink guys

hi,
i think instead of cutting electricity at residential complexes for a couple of hours, why can we save power by not using electrical supply for advertising on the hoardings and boards on the roads.And various other places like that.
