Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.

Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain

Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Renewable energy in Afghanistan includes biomass, hydropower, solar, wind power. Afghanistan is a landlocked country located in Asia that holds a spot as one of the countries with a smaller ecological footprint. It has been contended at different levels that hydropower may be an easier source of renewable energy for Afghanistan than other nations due to their geographical location. Their mountainous environment facilitates hydro dams and other facets of hydro energy.
The nation however, is not entirely independent on their sources of energy; they import an annual sum from neighboring countries like Tajikistan. Another form of renewable energy that Afghanistan has been doing is the implementation of Biogas. With the start of Biogas, communities have begun to feel the benefits beyond that of the environment through capacity building as well. 
Afghanistan is one of the lowest energy consuming countries in relation to a global standing.The country continues to feel the effect of the war, and the hardships it has endured in the name of it continue to leave scars. With "looting and lack of maintenance and spare parts mean that generation capacity is far below the potential level […] which in turn is sustainability below the country's need". Afghanistan is not self sustainable with their use of energy, they also have the need to import energy from neighboring countries. One particular country that Afghanistan imports from is Tajikistan. It is known that "the three countries also agreed to set up a joint commission to explore possibilities into the transfer of 500 Kilo Watts of energy from Tajikistan to Afghanistan and Iran". Importing energy is a popular thing among central Asian countries, adding a deeper level of connectedness between governments and citizens.
