Saving Energy

It is a fact now that we are running out of natural resources. After 100 years there will be no more petrol. The sea level will rise. There will be less water to drink and a few countries will disappear under water. That is why we need to use other resources to get all the energy we need to continue having all the services we have today. 
We need to use green energy that does not make the planet dirty and not cause a lot of pollution. 
We need to use less water than we do now because we simply don't have enough.  Taking a shower in less than 5 minutes will save tens of liters of water. 
People try to save energy in different ways. Children are encouraged to walk to school in a group in what we call the Walking-to-school Bus. Some parents look after the children while they walk to ensure their safety. Those parents also make friends at the same time.

Other people install solar panels to generate electricity and get hot water.  The problem is that these solar panels cost a lot of money to buy and install. 
Still others install energy-efficient globes to save electricity. These globes don't use as much energy as the old ones. They don't use their air conditioner at home very often in order to save energy. 
Many people in Australia now buy big water tanks and keep them in their gardens. These water tanks can rain water to be used to keep gardens green if there is not enough rain. 
Some people ride bikes to work. There is one day in Australia when people are encouraged to ride their bikes to work and not use their cars. Not many people know about this day but it is hoped that more and more people start using their bikes more. 
There are different businesses that wash cars using recycled water. You can pay a few dollars and wash your car yourself there or get people to do the job for you but it will be more expensive. 
Fill in the gaps:
day - lot - call - recycled - globes - drink - use

Can you find some mistakes here?
