During physics class, a challenge was enacted. Until the arrival of my home's next electric bill, I will conserve my use of energy. The other condition of the challenge is that I get to keep the money that my household saves from consuming less power. Since people in Hawaii have to spend more money for energy than those in the continental United States, one of the intentions of the challenge is to maintain a reduced level of consumption in the long term, which would be beneficial financially and environmentally. This particular photograph depicts one of the ceiling fans in my living room. Any appliance that exerts heat or coldness involves a large gain of kinetic energy. Since it functions as something that adds light and reduces heat in the room, the fan is one of the main sources of energy use in my house. This item is also used extensively during the night, which is when the rates for electricity are higher.
