Saving electricity is our responsibility but it seldom is a practice with anyone. People neglect the source and procurement of electricity and use it or rather misuse it because they believe that they are paying for it. And even continuous attempts to tell the population save energy has fallen onto deaf ears. Which is why, ecelctrocity.co.nz has come up in New Zealand so that people could be told in a more informal way how to save power.
