The amount of wealth and energy on earth has decreased. Not that everything is unlimited. Resources have had limitations in the past, and will continue to do so in the future. In this situation, we all have to focus on saving energy. Many famous people and leaders have expressed their views on this energy conservation. We have highlighted some important parts of them here.
The question is: What is energy conservation?
Energy conservation means the decision of using less energy or avoiding unnecessary uses.
Below these energy conservation quotes will help you understand this matter more accurately. Or you can use these quotes as energy saving slogans or posters. Thanks!

“We must encourage energy conservation and sustainable development. Young people are the ones who are most environmentally conscious in Ireland, so that to some extent they are educating their parents. They are tackling issues of waste disposal and so on. The schools help, because they put a lot of stress on environmental awareness.” – Mary Robinson
“Life should be built on the conservation of energy.” – Herbert M. Shelton

“Conservation (the conservation law) means this … that there is a number, which you can calculate, at one moment-and as nature undergoes its multitude of changes, this number doesn’t change. That is, if you calculate this quantity, it’ll be the same as it was before. An example is the conservation of energy: there’s a quantity that you can calculate according to a certain rule, and it comes out the same answer after, no matter what happens, happens.” – Richard P. Feynman

“Water and air, the two essential fluids on which all life depends, have become global garbage cans.” – Jacques Yves Cousteau
“It is horrifying that we have to fight our own government to save… It is horrifying that we have to fight our own government to save the environment.” – Ansel Adams
“The study of Zen is the study of energy, power, knowledge and balance. It is the science of energy conservation and control. We use energy to aid others, to see beauty, to discover love where we saw no love at all.” – Frederick Lenz
“There’s so much pollution in the air now that if it weren’t for our lungs there’d be no place to put it all.” – Robert Orben
“The use of solar energy has not been opened up because the oil industry does not own the sun.” – Ralph Nader
“There is no energy crisis, only a crisis of ignorance.” – R. Buckminster Fuller
“Conservation may be a sign of personal virtue, but it is not a sufficient basis for a sound, comprehensive energy policy.” – Dick Cheney
“In addition to the clean coal provisions, the energy conference agreement contains provisions instrumental in helping increase conservation and lowering consumption.” – Jerry Costello
“Every act of energy conservation… is more than just common sense: I tell you it is an act of patriotism.” – Jimmy Carter
“The growth that we want is one that brings real benefits to the people, raises quality and efficiency of development, and contributes to energy conservation and environmental protection.” – Li Keqiang
“What we should be doing [in the US] is accelerating every year our efforts to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions, have a cleaner energy future, and have much more energy conservation. And this won’t hurt anybody. This will create a new economy for America, if we’ve got the discipline to do it.” – William J. Clinton
“I have no doubt that we will be successful in harnessing the sun’s energy… If sunbeams were weapons of war, we would have had solar energy centuries ago.” – George Porter

“I don’t need any more press. I get enough when I work, but environmental causes is one place where you can get me to open my mouth. And put my foot in it if necessary. I think the only thing I do that gives me any bragging rights in terms of energy conservation is sailing. Just using wind power.” – Morgan Freeman
“Extolling the virtues of conservation of energy, Churchill advised, Never stand when you can sit, and never sit when you can lie down.” – Winston S. Churchill

But when we tell the world we couldn’t care less about climate change, that we feel entitled to drive whatever big cars we feel like, that we feel entitled to consume however much oil we like, the message we send is that a war for oil in the gulf is not a war to protect the world’s right to economic survival-but our right to indulge. Now that will be seen as immoral.” – Thomas Friedman
“And I’m asking you for your good and for your nation’s security to take no unnecessary trips, to use carpools or public transportation whenever you can, to park your car one extra day per week, to obey the speed limit, and to set your thermostats to save fuel.
