1. Energy and change

Energy is one of the most fundamental parts of our universe. Energy is all around us and in everything we do.


It is clear that our world runs on energy. Driving your car, washing your clothes, heating your house, and even running your computer, these things all require energy.

But where does this energy come from? Does it even matter?

In our daily lives, we attempt to be energy conscientious or energy efficient for two main reasons: to reduce cost associated with energy consumption, and to minimize the environmental impact (reduce by-products of fuel production, minimize the consumption of raw materials used to produce energy, such as trees and oil).

Understanding what is energy, transformations and learning about energy sources will let us to understand our world and this is the first step to become environmentally friendly.
