Explain why quality of life is critically dependent upon energy use and consumption.

The more natural resources we use, the less they become available and slowly the quality of life decreases due to the lack of necessities. But the main deal with the dependency is the use of environmental polluting chemicals and the removal of some natural vegetation such as deforestation. This is why the quality of life is critically dependent upon energy use and consumption.

Currently on our planet a lot of energy is consumed. This consumption is not only generated in our homes but also used by the industrial sector, the commercial sector and the transport sector.

It is estimated that energy consumption will increase 70% by 2050, and our quality of life is really linked to this amount of consumption.

Excessive energy consumption can lead to major climatic changes such as temperature increases and extreme weather events.

While the use of energy is essential to our lives, we must learn to take care of it and not waste it. For example, unplugging electrical appliances that are not in use will prevent an increase in the carbon footprint in the atmosphere.

It is also necessary to regulate the use of carbon and gas, which contribute highly to the release of greenhouse gases.

Higher energy consumption will also imply that your costs are higher.

Therefore, we must take care of this consumption to ensure a good quality of future life.
