Energy conservation is not only about using less energy but also about using it wisely to maximize benefit and minimize waste.<br />This can be achieved through various practices, such as using high-efficiency appliances, turning off unnecessary lighting, improving building insulation, and adopting renewable energy sources whenever possible. Public awareness also plays a major role in promoting responsible energy use.<br />Improving energy efficiency helps reduce costs, lower harmful emissions, and preserve natural resources for future generations. It is a vital step toward achieving the Sustainable Development Goals, particularly Goal 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy), Goal 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production), and Goal 13 (Climate Action).<br />Al-Mustaqbal University The First University in Iraq<br /><br />
