What is a specific environmental problem within energy conservation?
When people do not conserve energy, they are using or wasting the energy. This means that more energy must be produced. The most common way to do this is to burn fossil fuels. Not only are fossil fuels a finite (limited) natural resource, but mining them harms the environment. Also, the waste produced from using so much energy can pollute the environment through physical waste matters, and also with air pollution through emissions.
