how to save envormant at home
Answers
There are many ways to save environment at home with little steps.
1. Turn off appliances when you are not using them: Up to 30% of power used by TV is used while they are turned off, so buy power strips and just flip the switch on the power strip, because they use far less energy while turned off.
2. Switch to compound fluorescent light bulbs: They last longer and consume one-quarter of the energy. Lately, LED lamps have started to pick up the pace too -- they are up to ten times as effective as fluorescent, and totally blow incandescent bulbs off the charts.
3. Turn off the lights: Always turn off the lights when you are not using them. Rooms that are lit with nobody in them are wasteful.
4. Recycle, recycle, recycle: Some cities already require people to sort their trash into paper, metals, glass, and organic waste. Even if your city doesn't, you can launch a growing trend. Set up four separate waste baskets, and make sure the contents end up in the appropriate recycle bins.
5. Avoid Creating Trash: Avoid disposable products, such as plates, cups, napkins and cutlery. Use reusable towels and dish washing cloths in place of paper towels and disposable dish sponges.
6. Install low-flush toilets in your home: These use 1.6 gallons (6.1 L) per flush, instead of 3.5 gallons (13.2 L), cutting water consumption by more than half.
