Saving energy.
More and more cities are investing a lot of money for eco-friendly systems and realizing people that saving energy is very important for both people and environment. Even my little town made some initiatives to encourage citizens to such behaviors and habits.
One of the most extended action was about investing in modern, LED bulbs. There were a lot of posters about that almost everywhere. What is more, local government gave a lot of money for companies to make such a big investment.
The second, interesting idea was turn of unimportant devices. Almost everyone has such stuff as chargers or printers which are plugged all day. This time, city succeeded just partial – people are often too lazy to unplug them.
The most interesting initiative was about buying computers. Government made a law, which obliged shops to give leaflet near every computer telling that it consume much more power than notebook. People were very suspicious to this idea, but shop assistants were showing them how much energy did those device need.
In my view, all these ways of encouraging them were very good. I think, that realizing people about ecology and power consumption is much better then punishing them because of their bad behaviors. What is more, central government should spend money helping people make such investments. Giving special leaflets with their electricity bill is also great idea.
To sum up, I want you to spend few minutes to check if you can reduce your house’s power consumption. As I mentioned – both Earth and you will have profit. You will pay less bills and our planet energy resources will be sufficient longer.

Dziękuję za pomoc :)

More and more cities are investing 'a lot of' (poszukaj okreslenie na wyzszym szczeblu) money for eco-friendly systems and 'realizing people' (to jest zle - masz zla kol slow ale slowo 'realizing' jest zle) that saving energy is very important for both people and (a gdzie jest przedimek?) environment. Even my little town made some initiatives to encourage citizens to (wg mnie cos tu brakuje) such behaviors and habits.
One of the most 'extended' (cos mi sie to slowo nie za bardzo podoba tutaj) action was about investing in modern, LED bulbs. There were 'a lot of' (znowu to 'a lot of' jest tyle lepszych slow, a zawsze to samo) posters about that almost everywhere. What is more, local government gave 'a lot of' (3ci raz to samo okreslenie - czy niema innych?) money for companies to make such a big investment.
The second, interesting idea was 'turn' (jaki tu turn? o co chodzi?) of unimportant devices. Almost everyone has such 'stuff' (uzyj slowo ktore jest poprawne - 'stuff' nic nie znaczy) as chargers or printers which are plugged (tu brakuje slowa) all day. This time, (przedimek) city succeeded just 'partial' (tutaj jak? answer - ...) – people are often too lazy to unplug them.
The most interesting initiative 'was about' (znowu takie slowa na tak niskim poziomie - dlaczego nie uzywasz 'concerned', 'related to'?) buying computers. (przedimek) government 'made' (nie, bo slowo jest 'passed') a law, which obliged shops to 'give' (calkowicie zle slowo, tutaj chodzi o 'polozenie') (przedimek) leaflet near every computer telling (komu? wytlumacz jak leaflet moze 'tell something?) that it 'consume' (tu ma byc 3os.l.poj - nie rob takich bledow) much more power than (przedimek) notebook. People were very suspicious 'to' OF (you are 'suspicious of' something, nie 'to something') this idea, but shop assistants 'were showing' (zly czas - tutaj simple) them how much energy 'did' (niepotr) those device needED.
In my view, all these ways of encouraging 'them' (to znaczy kogo? czego?) were very good. I think, that 'realizing people ' (calkowicie nie rozumiem tego realizing people) about ecology and power consumption is much better then punishing them because of their bad behaviors.
Giving special leaflets with their electricity bill is also ( a gdzie jest przedimek?) great idea.
To sum up, I want you to spend (przedimek) few minutes 'to check' (nie, tutaj 'checking') if you can reduce your 'house’s' (wg mnie niepotr slowo) power consumption. As I mentioned – 'both Earth' (jaki 'earth? gdzie to wczesniej pisales?) and you will have profit. You will pay 'less' (calkowicie zle slowo, slowo jest 'smaller') bills and our planet energy resources 'will be sufficient longer' (cos tu nie tak, nie rozumiem tego).

Zrob cos z tymi przedimkami (a, an, the). Prosze je poprawnie uzywac.

Ok, dziękuję bardzo :) teraz jak to czytam to widzę swoje błędy ;)

W jaki sposób przetłumaczyć na angielski słówko "uświadamiać"?
Jak w drugim akapicie zamienić "extended" w znaczeniu 'akcja na szeroką skalę'?
W trzecim akapicie oczywiście literówka ;)
"The second, interesting idea was to turn off..." lub "...was turning off..."

Resztę swoich błędów rozumiem ;)

W jaki sposób przetłumaczyć na angielski słówko "uświadamiać"?
give advice/suggest
Jak w drugim akapicie zamienić "extended" w znaczeniu 'akcja na szeroką skalę'?
far-reaching action

W tym kontekście ja bym oddał "uświadamiają" jako:
...and make people aware that ...
