Increasingly, you can hear talk about the end of the world, the coming global warming and growing holes in the ozone layer. The fate of a large planet is in the hands of humanity. More precisely, in the hands of each individual person. Making a contribution to improving the environment is not difficult at all. This does not require special skills or special efforts. Just learn to … save.
Instructions
Step 1
Save energy. Don't leave the lights on when you leave the room, even if you're going to be back in a few minutes. Replace ordinary bulbs with energy-saving ones, they are more expensive, but will pay off in the future. In the daytime, try not to turn on artificial lighting at all, because you can read, sew, knit while sitting by the window. Plus, daylight is much healthier for the eyes.
Step 2
Unplug electrical appliances when you finish using them. This will help conserve energy and therefore your money. Never leave chargers in an outlet after charging your phone or laptop. This not only leads to more energy consumption, but also reduces the life of the charging itself.
Step 3
Save water. Wash your hands and dishes with cool water. Do not forget that the hot water was cold and energy wasted to heat it. Also try to turn off the tap when brushing your teeth, combing your hair, or shaving. If this rule constantly flies out of your head, it will not be superfluous to hang a reminder on the wall. Thus, you will save more than one liter of water and more than one kilowatt of energy. For the same reason, monitor the condition of the plumbing: is the toilet barrel leaking, is the faucet leaking? If you find any problems, fix them as soon as possible, otherwise clean, recycled water will literally "fly away into the pipe".
Step 4
Save paper. Print on both sides of the sheet using the area as efficiently as possible. Try to buy notebooks, notepads, cardboard folders from recycled materials. Before throwing away your old notebook or diary, check to see if there are any blank pages left. You can use them as writing paper.
Step 5
Save money. Don't waste money buying a bag every time to get groceries home from the supermarket. Remember that a plastic bag takes 10-20 years to decompose. So sew or buy a fabric grocery bag and go shopping with it. Today, when more and more people are thinking about the future of the planet they live on, such a bag will become not only a useful thing, but also a fashion accessory.
