1. Lighting power consumption

Pay attention to turn off the lights. Use efficient and energy-saving light bulbs. The U.S. Department of Energy estimates that 400 million tons of carbon dioxide can be prevented from being released only by using energy-saving light bulbs instead of traditional ones.

2. Low-carbon cooking

Try to save energy in the kitchen. Cook and stir-fry at home, just eat and don't stir-fry. Deteriorated food can be buried underground as fertilizer.

3. Water saving coup

Taomi water is a good detergent, which can be kept for washing dishes or watering flowers. Pots and plates stained with oil are cleaned with used napkins first, which saves water and time, and can also use less detergent to reduce water pollution. When washing clothes, you can add a small amount of soap powder, because washing powder will reduce a lot of foam when it meets soap, which saves water and cleaning time. Water for washing hands, bathing, washing clothes and vegetables and relatively clean dishwashing water can be collected to wash rags and floors.

4. Use of electrical appliances

When buying washing machines, televisions or other electrical appliances, choose reliable low-consumption and energy-saving products. Cut off the power supply in time when the TV and computer are not in use, which not only saves electricity, but also prevents the hidden danger of fire caused by short circuit of sockets. Please turn off the power of the water dispenser when not in use. Keep the refrigerator frost-free

recycle

By recycling to reduce the recycling of materials, the number of new raw materials can be reduced, thus reducing carbon dioxide emissions. For example, the recycling of organic materials such as paper and cardboard can avoid methane released from landfills. Therefore, saving paper means protecting forests and the environment. Minimize the consumption of aluminum film packaging, Tetra Pak brick packaging and other disposable goods.

6. Energy-saving fitness methods

Hand washing light clothes is good exercise. Standing in front of the laundry pool in a standing position not only exercises the strength of the feet, but also relaxes the waist and back that are often in a state of tension. Wash clothes with both hands at the same time, saving water and electricity while exercising the flexibility of fingers and the coordination ability of left and right brains.

7. Save energy for heating and cooling.

Check the insulation quality of attic and hollow wall. Check whether the gaps between doors and windows are closed in winter. When the weather is not very hot in summer, it is best to use fans or electric fans instead of air conditioners. When using the air conditioner, don't turn the temperature too low.

8. Renewable energy

Using various renewable energy technologies can greatly reduce the carbon dioxide produced in the process of using energy. Solar energy can heat water and generate electricity. Biomass heating systems are increasingly used in some European countries, and some new small wind turbine generators have been available for home use.

9. Garbage sorting and disposal

Garbage sorting can recycle valuable resources and reduce the energy consumed by landfill and incineration. For example, waste paper is sent directly to a paper mill to produce recycled paper; Beverage bottles, cans and plastics can also be sent to related factories to become renewable resources; Household appliances can be sent to specialized manufacturers for decomposition and recycling.

10. Exchange and donation of surplus items

Collect redundant or unused items and reuse them through exchange and donation.

Attachment 2:

Second, when shopping

1. Bring your own shopping bag or reuse plastic bags for shopping.

The raw materials of plastics mainly come from non-renewable mineral energy such as coal, oil and natural gas. Saving plastic bags means saving the earth's energy. The amount of plastic waste in China exceeds one million tons every year. Disposable plastic bags not only cause huge waste of resources, but also increase the amount of garbage sharply.

Buy local products

Buying local products can reduce the carbon dioxide produced during product transportation. For example, according to a report released by the Ministry of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, in Britain, 8% of the carbon dioxide emitted by cars comes from vehicles carrying non-local products.

Buy seasonal products

Buying seasonal fruits and vegetables can reduce crop growth in the greenhouse. Many greenhouses consume a lot of energy to grow non-seasonal products.

Local food is most suitable for local people. Other goods produced locally are easy to maintain and have low cost. Seasonal food is the most suitable mature food for species growth in natural ecology, with the most nutrition and few kinds of additives. Out-of-season food is not only expensive but also less nutritious, and the added pesticides, fertilizers and combustion improvers are also harmful to health.

4. Reduce the purchase of animal foods such as meat, eggs and milk.

Raising livestock consumes more than 2/3 of cultivated land; Animal husbandry accounts for 16% of man-made methane on the earth. The production, packaging, transportation and cooking of meat consume much more energy than plant food, and plant food accounts for 25% of human behaviors that cause global greenhouse effect.

5. Use less disposable products

Shopping malls are full of disposable items: disposable tableware, disposable toothbrushes, disposable signature pens ... disposable items bring temporary convenience to people, but bring disasters to the ecological environment. They accelerate the depletion of the earth's resources, and produce a large amount of garbage that causes environmental pollution.

6. Over-packaging

Pay attention to buying products with simple packaging. This means less energy consumption in the production process of packaging. Reduce the garbage sent to the landfill and reduce the economic burden of consumers.
