10 Ways to Greening Your Home

Posted by Admin on Tuesday, January 10, 2012

Efficient use of energy resources, coupled with the application of the pattern of life that is full of responsibility, but can save you some expense for us, is also beneficial for our environment in the long term support of our existence on this earth, so that creates happiness for our children and grandchildren someday.

Truly love the environment rather than the affairs of all difficult, below we try to refer to the process of care in our home, Which thing we can do for the common interest.

1. Selection of furniture
We all know how important trees for the garden of Eden on earth. Trees can absorb CO2, prevent erosion and provide a lush garden and stable for the Flora fauna on the earth and mankind. The use of natural wood with the proper connections have very important for the protection of our green earth.

We propose, when you buy furniture, as much as possible to avoid furniture made from multiplex, but choose the specifications of the original wood furniture with an environmentally friendly, such as bamboo or wood materials that can be recycled and so forth. Looking for a durable type of furniture, can also avoid unnecessary waste.

If due to any reason, you no longer want a dressing table or your dining table. Furniture rather durable, can be brought to the auction, thus does not lead to waste.

2. Natural Products
Although chemicals can be used to eradicate insects that repulsive surface sheen and rubbing our table, but for use in the long run, they can be claimed the lives of us.

Unfortunately, these chemicals, although its use has been discontinued, are still not willing to go. Lately there is a result of research, in the placenta newborns found 200 kinds of chemical components industry. This includes 7 kinds of dangerous pesticides some of which have banned its use in the U.S. for 30 years!

Arguably, our children before birth, without the consent we cekoki with the chemical cocktail. The possibility of pesticides can cause Parkinson's disease, infertility, brain tissue disorders, cancer and others.

That is why, we propose no more use of toxic chemical products, switch to natural products as effective, do not buy green vegetables are sprayed with pesticides is a pretty good start.

3. Socket (plugs): Dracula sucking seterum
You may not know that in places we do not expect, that is, in our homes, there is something that every day is always lost in vain. Little by little, that plugs for electrical appliances. For TVs and camcorders alone, in a dead position (off), every year could deplete the U.S. $ 1 billion (Rp 9 trillion) from the pocket of Americans, a waste which is quite surprising!

In the pattern of saving electricity, toaster appliance (toaster), coffeemaker (coffee maker), fans, computers, printers, TVs use cable, charger for HP and others, on average each family requires 1000 kw each year.

You might feel if every time before leaving the house, always check if any plugs are removed, certainly very inconvenient. However, there is a simple trick, namely the adjacent electrical equipment plugged in a multi-socket, before leaving, only requires turning off the joint socket is sufficient.


4. Stay away from the use of coal
As far as possible using the power-wind power, solar and water, in order to reduce dependence on oil and coal.

The use of stone Coal is the source of the largest greenhouse effect. Because wind and solar power sources obtained free of charge, then the use of wind and solar energy sources in large numbers, will definitely reduce your electricity bill.

5. Notice the small things, recycling can save time
Let us face to face with the reality that this inevitable:

We are now mired in crisis owing Ecology, energy dissipation rate we've far exceeded the speed of renewable energy.

Therefore, when we consider the energy savings, first of all need to remember is to reduce usage, and only then re-use, eventually the new issue of recycling.

Of course, although recycling is also very important. Waste that can be recycled and general waste that can be sorted, do not need jobs that are taxing, but it can save significant energy source.

Suppose that recycling aluminum cans, only requires 5% of energy equivalent to produce new aluminum cans.


6. Vegetables take how much the trip?
Perhaps you did not think that the vegetables that we eat daily before it enters the stomach has been taking an average of 1,500 miles (= 2414 km)!

Tomatoes that are sent through the plane of course there are mileage meter rates it! Shipment of wine from Napa Valley, Calif., dispatched to supermarkets in Chicago have to travel a little air play as far as 2143 miles (= 3448 km). Delivery process that takes large amounts of fuel, causing greenhouse gas effect is greater.

Should, if we can buy local produce vegetables, this could certainly reduce a lot of energy waste and pollution of the environment and can guarantee to keep it fresh.

7. 89 pounds of junk mail
The release of 25% CO2 caused by forest destruction, every year there are as many as 84 million hectares of trees are burned or cut down. Do not depend anymore with the thick stack of paper, replace it by exploring the internet.

Your name is located in a listed company post sales'm removed, junk mail can save as much as 41 pounds (89 kg) each year, this was not a small service! To find out more about them please call and look at the Green-Dimes or 41pounds.org.

8. Paper or plastic?
Bring the canvas bag that can be reused to the supermarket and instead use a bag / plastic bag which was prepared by the supermarket, is a good choice. Plastic bags for shopping instead of today's most organic materials that can decompose, in other words, their age can be much longer than you which is about a few million years.

Every day there are thousands of marine reptiles, including leatherback turtles are almost extinct, because they are considered trash bags for food and swallow it so it choked to death.

Our madness to the all-plastic products are accumulating piles of plastic garbage so great in Texas - if see that each year Americans spend 100 billion plastic bags, 12 million gallons of kerosene, it would not at all surprising.

9. Buy electrical appliances, see the first label
Do not treat lightly the household electrical appliances, greenhouse gas emissions in the average household is 2 times the car.

Therefore, when buying household electrical appliances, household electrical equipment selection notice that the labeled energy star Class, can reduce the most greenhouse gas emissions, and can also reduce your electricity bills as much as 1 / 3.

10. Use light bulbs which one?
If you are ready to do a job for the earth, then the best way is to use energy-saving fluorescent light bulbs. Although energy-saving fluorescent light bulbs several times more expensive than regular light bulbs.

But he was 10 times more than regular light bulbs, in other words every time you use an energy-saving fluorescent light bulbs, the same as reducing the chances of producing 8 pieces of garbage bulb.

Judging from the long-term considerations, it can still save a large amount of money. Energy-saving fluorescent light bulbs can save 75% energy. Every time you change a fluorescent light bulb energy saving, equivalent to 1100 kg of CO2 a year.

Energy to replace 17 pieces of energy-saving fluorescent light bulb is equivalent to the energy consumption of a small sedan for a year.

However, when recycling of energy-saving fluorescent light bulbs should be extra careful. Because in the energy-saving fluorescent light bulbs contained mercury in light levels, although the mercury is not harmful to us, but for TPA (Final Disposal), mercury in large numbers if it soak into the soil may cause other problems.
