Conserving Utilities and Needs for Daily Consumption

Power, water and communication utilities have soared up high in prices. Unending debacles to resolve issues how to pay these basic living expenses without reliable income sources served a central discussion topic among all family issues unless if one at least in the family has a job. One way or the other most people encounter underemployment to make ends meet. Poverty is on the rise inevitably upon the inability to cope inflation affecting basic commodities in the country. The lack of jobs pervade unable to cater with a large margin of talented and experienced individuals and the limbo in which fresh graduates move experience reference to their expectations hoping to apply their degree they have accomplished are unable to. Indeed the global environment now constitutes a belt tightening practice in daily life especially not far from comparison to lifestyles adopted in the developed countries due to recent financial crisis that connectively escalate inflation. Though such lifestyle is largely differential from the Philippines but the same circumstances poverty circumnavigates exist in the same pace. It has been a surfacing persistent issue in contemporary economic and politics the inability of the government to control prices and that oil increase has to proportionally drag commodity prices to increasing costs. People have accustomed themselves eversince for long term not only in recent years their need to belt tighten and conserve amidst job shortage, the sheer figures of employment imposing age limits in hiring bearreference to below middle age groups as a preference. Up to where will conservation will abound the prospect for job employment prosper to strike the balance in order to cope economic issues?

The power, water and communication resources and their innate qualities that reflect improved services in recent years compared to more than a decade ago has progressed and can be said is an intangible benefit we receive. Privatization of companies in these basic human services prospered to meet quality standards that benefit communities at large entailed a high price to challenge on the part of consumers. The only way to reduce overhead costs over a stringent economy at reducing income margins is conservation.

On a personal level, thedaily practice on conservation measures to keep in mind and heart inculcate them into habits requires presence of mind whenever appliances or utilities are constantly used. Especially in these hot summer days, where it is inevitable to use a higher degree of consumption, like for instance, turning fairly multiple electric fans operating simultaneously at higher strengths; checking periodically water meters with the possibility when all faucets and outlets are off, and whether the meter is running, are all a household responsibility. In this respect we have a beneficial concern to guard over our resources on every quantity used through every kilowatt power consumed by adapting ourselves into realities in a virtual world. For example, a virtual world can be illustrated by conserving as much we can electricity by turning all the fans off except only one and switching off the remaining when unused and not leaving them operating even others are not using, or adapting our bodies intolerable to the summer heat to tolerate since our bodies are capable to adapt to different environments and temperatures and other conditions as long as we take preventive measures not to jeopardize our own health or others. However there are limits to these. Nevertheless how much we conserve it seems the bills pour to striking our stimulus when we cannotimagine the consumption billed does not correspond to the practices we impose. However everything helps.

Conserving our resources also mean we concern to conserve overhead expenses of the company operating, imposing the charges and providing the services used, as this attributes to the requisite derivative resources to operate utility services. Sometimes this entails to an interpretation level that the charges reflect bear to the infrastructure the company uses to employ the distribution of power or water that its usage are subject to long term financing loans for service maintenance.  Without our knowing this might be existent in most cases.
