October 28th, 2019

Dear friend Jason

How are you? I hope you are well, I am writing this letter to tell you
that I’m worried about the use of electric energy, we consume a lot
of electricity every day.

Last week in my English class I watched a video about the earth our
and how can we help the environment with some simple actions,
this situation worried me so I told my family and we decided to
change our daily routine to save energy.
Before I used to take a 30 - minute shower in my bathroom with hot
water because it is cold, now I take a quick shower every day
before going to school, while in my kitchen to prepare breakfast my
mother doesn’t use microwave or kettle, she prepares breakfast in
a gas stove, and when we eat in the dining room my dad doesn’t turn
on the TV, when we leave home we turn off all the lights and we
unplug all electronic devices, because nobody is going to use it,
when we get home and after lunch we wash the dishes by hand and
do not use the dishwasher, then I don’t turn on the lights in my
bedroom to do my homework, I better go to my living room and
take advantage of natural light. In the living room we don't use
heater, we wear clothes that warm more. We try to do our things
fast, so as not to sleep so late but before going to sleep we watch
television for a moment.
I think that if people change their daily habits we can help with this
problem, would you change some habits of your daily routine?
which would be? write me soon
Take care.
Karla.
