Hello dear readers today i'm gonna talk some few things about how to go GREEN?so that we can avoid Global warming to great extent.Every action of yours ,right from switching on electrical stuff like Washing machines,Radio sets,Music system,Computers,Electric Stoves machines,Refrigerators and many more all this add to global warming. you will be wondering that how can these all effects to nature and reason for global warming,Well I have taken some experiments that shows how much we are effecting.
* Recycling paper uses 90% less water & 50% less energy while compare to manufacture of new paper And it also produces 36% less CO2.
* An air conditioner(2.5 ton) used for an hour produces 3kg of CO2. If you Switch off your air conditioner for an hour a Day then you can prevent 1095 kg of CO2 into the atmosphere annually thats how means 3 x 365days = 1095 kg.
* Using a geyser for an hour generates 3.3 kg of CO2,If you cut down the use of geyser by just one hour a day, You can stop release of 3.3 x 365 = 1204.5 kg of CO2 into atmosphere annually.
* One dripping tap in a house wastes 13 litres of water in a single day.The wastage of water in a year 13 x 365 = 4745 litres of water. On an average a person who who runs the tap while brushing teeth wastes about 7 litres of water.
* Well coming to Compact Fluorescent lamps (CFLs) uses 1/3rd of the Electricity used by regular bulbs.If every family replaces regular light bulbs with CFLs, 10,000 million watts of power could be saved. Energy used for our daily needs of electricity comes from burning fuels.Using less power means lower emmission of greenhouse gases into atmosphere.
* people even uses vehicle for very short distance too they even dono that One litre of petrol produces about 1kg of water vapour and 2.17kg of CO2.walking,carpooling or using public transport,will save at least two litres of petrol a week.This will stop the release of 2.17 x 2 x 52(no of weeks in a year) = 225.68 kg of CO2 into atmosphere annually.
* Using a microwave oven for an hour generates 1.3 kg of CO2.If you eat food without using your microwave to heat it,just for one hour a week,you can stop the release of 1.3 x 52(no of weeks in a year) = 67.6kg of CO2 into atmosphere.
Your eveyday actions have far reaching consequences.It determines whether life on Earth will flourish or perish.One thoughtful action Or a simple change in your habit will go a long way in saving OUR PLANET .
10 Easy common Steps to Go Green at your home itself
10 easy steps to go green and save green:
1. Recycle. It’s free, reduces household consumption and increases energy efficiency.
2. Save Water. Install low-flow shower heads and faucets to cut back on water flow. A simple fix – shorten your shower times and shorten your water bill.
3. Conserve Rain Water. Set up barrels in your backyard to collect rain water and snow for watering plants and shrubs. Use this to water your indoor plants too.
4. Reduce Electricity. Remember to turn off the light when you leave the room and to unplug your computer and other electronics and appliances when not in use. These small gestures will not only save energy but will save you money on your electric bill as well.
5. Replace Light Bulbs. Replace your current light bulbs with compact florescent lighting. Believe it or not, these bulbs use 30% less energy, but produce the same amount of light and last longer.
6. Drive Less. You may not be ready to give up your sporty SUV, but why not trade it in for a hybrid. If that’s not in your budget, carpool or try walking.
7. Double up on Printing. Configure your computer to print on both sides of the paper. This saves paper, trees and you running out to the store last minute to buy a new supply.
8. Adjust Refrigerator temperature. Refrigerators use up the most electricity in your house. Adjust your fridge to the average temperature of 37 degrees F and your freezer to 0 degrees F.
9. Support Local Farms. You will be cutting back on gas and decreasing our dependence on oil with the trucks that are used to ship produce. Best of all, you will be eating delicious fruit and veggies that have less chemicals.
10. Dry Clothes Outside. Give your dryer a break. Hang your clothes outside and get that fresh smell. You’ll also be reducing the amount of energy you use in the home.
“The pressure is mounting for all of us to grow an environmental conscience.” says Dave Sears, OptHome co-founder and chief strategist. “We don’t all think green, but if each household hops on the environmental bandwagon and reduces their household emissions of waste and exhaust, and consumption of water and electricity, perhaps we can speed up the process of growing a collective green conscience and save a little money in the process.”
