Dear Student

Due to increasing demand of energy the available sources of energy are depleting at fast rate. The use of fuels on large scale is releasing lot of gases and unwanted particles in the air. The gases like SO2, NO2are causing acid rain that is destroying monuments, iron articles, bridges etc. The CO2released in air is causing green house effect that is leading to global warming which will melt the ice and sea-level will increase submerging coastal areas and islands. To reduce energy consumtion we should look for alternative source of energy which can help us to overcome all these problems.

​​​Thanks
