When you say I am losing energy doesn't that violate the conservation of energy?

To get a complete picture of what happens with energy, you need to be aware of the two laws of Thermodynamics. The First Law is Conservation of Energy. The Second Law can be expressed in several ways; but related to energy, it basically means that useful energy is continuously being converted to unusable energy. Thus, you can indeed waste energy. The energy is still there - often in form of heat - but you can't convert it back into a useful form. So, for many practical purposes, such energy is lost.

When a boulder is rolling down a hill what energy is it losing?
Potential Energy

Heat energy.
Is Freezing a Thermal Energy Added?
No, freezing is a result of losing thermal energy (heat).
When a plane is landing it is gaining potential energy?
No, it's losing potential energy, since it gets lower.

Why do they say tht the law of conservation of energy is not applicable to the universe as a whole.this red shift thing..can't it be tht light is losing energy in doing work to travel all tht distnce?
No one, in the field of physics, says the conservation law does not apply to the universe as a whole. In fact the opposite is true, that entropy always increases. The speed of light in a vacuum is a universal constant and can neither increase or decrease.

How does the law of conservation-of energy relate to roller coasters?
It is easier to see this using a traditional roller coaster model. Most traditional Roller Coasters start by using a tow cable to pull them up a large "hill". When being pulled up this hill, mechanical energy is being used to give the roller coaster potential energy. At the top of this hill, the roller coaster has it's maximum potential energy. As it starts to go down another hill, it picks up speed. During the descent it is losing potential energy but at the same time gaining kinetic energy. The coaster will then lose kinetic energy but gain potential energy as it goes up the next hill. This cycle of gaining/losing potential and kinetic energy is the conservation of energy that you are looking for. Of course in a real roller coaster, some energy will be lost due to friction. This will come off as heat in the rails and the wheels of the roller coaster and it's structure.
How is a light wave formed?
By an electron losing energy.
