Some people say that we do not need printed newspaper any more. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion?

The two pie charts illustrate the
energy
usage of a typical Australian family and the greenhouse
gas
emissions produced from the use of
this
energy
. Overall, it is clear heating consumed the majority of
energy
, whereas water heating accounts for the most greenhouse
gas
emission. Heating and water heating take up 42% and 32% of the total
energy
consumption respectively. The amount of
energy
remaining is mainly used for other appliances, at 15%, and refrigeration, at 7% while cooling and lighting are just 6% in total.
As a result
, water heating in a typical Australian household contributes significantly to greenhouse
gas
emissions, accounting for 32%. Even while heating is responsible for the most
energy
consumed, only 15% of the
gas
is released.
On the contrary
, the figure for other appliances and refrigeration are relatively high, at 28% and 14% each, compare to the percentage of
energy
they used.
Finally
, the emission caused by lighting is 8%, double the amount of
energy
consumption, and by cooling is 3%, which is not a considerable figure.
