reduces the consumption of fuel used for
transportation. And also tries to buy in the

with you so you don't use plastic bags when
you go to the supermarket.

The sun is the largest source of natural light, but you can also use its energy to power the
appliances in your home or devices such as your phone or tablet. There are many more
electrical devices that can be charged by solar energy than you think.
