Perhaps the most notable way reducing energy helps the environment is by decreasing harmful byproducts, such as carbon dioxide, from being released by the power plants that produce our electricity. By simply cutting back on energy consumption, we can reduce the amount of electricity that power plants must make and the fumes they release.
