  1. The disadvantage in conservation of energy is you getting less of it.
    Advantages someone else getting more of it.
    There is no way you can really save or conserve energy at your home or apartment. The energy plant will use same amount of coal either you turn off all your light or turn them all on. So that is big myth that you can do anything in your little place to conserve energy. Especially in any amount that could make any difference on the global scale.

  2. pros:
    -Helping the environment
    -Makes you feel better by having less of an impact on the environment.
    cons:
    -higher electric/gas bill.
    -larger eco footprint.

  3. The cons to trying to save energy are:
    1) many ways of saving energy cost more than just using the energy
    - electric cars are more expensive than gas automobiles
    - a more efficient air conditioner sometimes costs more than buying a less efficient one
    - compact fluorescent light bulbs are more expensive than incandescent ones
    2) People who sell energy make less money if we use less energy
