Saving energy means saving money and conserving our natural resources Homeowners and renters know this basic fact, but they often don't know what kinds of adjustments they can make in their homes and apartments that will result in savings

For those willing to spend some time and money to reap long-term energy savings, an energy audit is the way to go An energy auditor will come into your home and assess its energy efficiency The auditor will pinpoint areas of your home that use the most energy and offer solutions to lower your energy use and

Trang 4

costs Trained energy auditors know what to look for and can locate a variety of flaws that may be resulting

in energy inefficiency, including inadequate insulation, construction flaws, and uneven heat distribution There are quicker and less costly measures that can be taken as well One way to save money is to replace incandescent lights with fluorescents This can result in a savings of more than 50% on your monthly lighting costs

When it's time to replace old appliances, it's wise to spend a bit more for an energy-efficient model, and be sure that you are taking advantage of energy-saving settings already on your current refrigerator, dishwasher, washing machine, or dryer

Windows provide another opportunity to cut your energy costs Caulk old windows that might be leaky to prevent drafts, and choose double-paned windows if you're building an addition or replacing old windows Most areas of your home or apartment offer opportunities to save energy and money The results are significant and are well worth the effort

Fungi, of which there are over 100,000 species, including yeasts and other single-celled organisms as well

as the common molds and mushrooms, were formerly classified as members of the plant kingdom However, in reality they are very different from plants and today they are placed in a separate group

altogether The principal reason for this is that none of them possesses chlorophyll, and since they cannot

synthesize their own carbohydrates, they obtain their supplies either from the breakdown of dead organic matter or from other living organisms Furthermore the walls of fungal cells are not made of cellulose, as those of plants are, but of another complex sugar like polymer called chitin, the material from which the hard outer skeletons of shrimps, spiders, and insects are made The difference between the chemical composition of the cell walls of fungi and those of plants is of enormous importance because it enables the tips of the growing hyphae, the threadlike cells of the fungus, to secrete enzymes that break down the walls

of plant cells without having any effect on those of the fungus itself It is these cellulose-destroying

enzymes that enable fungi to attack anything made from wood, wood pulp, cotton, flax, or other plant material

The destructive power of fungi is impressive They are a major cause of structural damage to building timbers, a cause of disease in animals and humans, and one of the greatest causes of agricultural losses Entire crops can be wiped out by fungal attacks both before and after harvesting Some fungi can grow at +50°C, while others can grow at -5°c, so even food in cold storage may not be completely safe from them

On the other hand, fungi bring about the decomposition of dead organic matter, thus enriching the soil and returning carbon dioxide to the atmosphere They also enter into a number of mutually beneficial relationships with plants and other organisms In addition, fungi are the source of many of the most potent

antibiotics used in clinical medicine, including penicillin

developers unveiled plans to demolish Carnegie Hall and build a high-rise office building on the site This

threat spurred Stern to rally public support for Carnegie Hall and encourage the City of New York to buy the property The movement was successful, and the concert hall is now owned by the city In the current restoration, builders tested each new material for its sound qualities, and they replaced the hole in the ceiling with a dome The builders also restored the outer walls to their original appearance and closed the coffee shop Carnegie has never sounded better, and its prospects for the future have never looked more promising

ALTERNATIVE ENERGY SOURCES

A lot of different energy sources are used every day Burning of fossil fuel is a main energy source Sources other than this fossil fuel are known as alternative energy sources and there are several of them being used every day

First of all, it is water Water energy can be harnessed to perform work by using waterwheels

In a hydroelectric plant the running or falling water spins a generator to create electricity

Not only does water spin a wheel, but wind can do so as well Windmills work in the same manner as a waterwheel Windmills are used as wind turbines that can generate electricity

The internal heat of the earth is another energy source It is called geothermal energy Geothermal energy can be used to heat homes and produce electricity

Solar energy is often thought to be sunlight Sunlight is full of energy People are finding new ways to harness the power of sunlight One major way is to trap or concentrate sunlight with the use of solar panels This trapped sunlight can be used to heat homes and water Also, solar cells are devices that convert sunlight into electricity
