Alternate, more dependable forms of energy are being developed, but that will take time. What is important today is that each one of us makes the best possible use of existing energy supplies. Little ways in which you can save energy may seem insignificant, but in fact they are not. For example, it has been estimated that if each person in Ontario saved just a penny's worth of energy each day, we'd save enough energy in a week to heat up to 2,500 homes for an entire year. Nobody has the right to waste any form of power. The time has come for every person to do everything possible to ensure the wisest use of energy. Good energy habits learned now, especially by our young people, will help bring us through this winter, and pay off even more in years to come. Let's get to work. 40-44 Around the farm. A well-tuned tractor burns 10% less fuel 0 Underground or pressurized storage tanks reduce vapourization loss 0 Reduce tractor wheel slip and you save fuel 0 Prolonged idling of engines wastes gas 0 Can you turn yard lights off earlier? 45-47 At work. Can the thermostat be turned down? 0 Can you turn off any lights? 0 Has your company got an Energy Conservation Suggestion Scheme? We're taking our own advice. All Ministries and Agencies of the Ontario Government are doing their bit to conserve energy. Lighting and heating levels are being reduced in government buildings; a new emphasis is being given to economi- cal operation of vehicles; Ontario Hydro and the Ministry of Education are encouraging consumers and schoolchildren to learn good habits in the use of energy. And that's just a beginning!
