Earth Day Practices

by | 14-04-2015 02:56 recommendations 0
  1. In order to save energy and not waste energy, I removed cellphone charger from the wall socket when my cellphone was fully or almost charged.
  2. I turned off or shut down the calculator when I was not using it in order to save batteries. Batteries are made from chemicals such as nickel which proves to be very toxic and can therefore cause damage to humans? health and environment. Thus, minimizing the use of batteries and therefore producing fewer used batteries are pivotal in saving the environment. 
  3. I switched air conditioner off when I was not using and tried minimising the use of air conditioner as much as possible. 
  4. I made sure to recycle in order to reduce the amount of waste produced by reusing milk carton as a chopping board.
  5. Instead of using only one side of the paper, I used both sides of the paper in order to lessen the paper waste produced.
  6. I used Thermos, which plays an important role in keeping beverages such as water hot or cold. In fact, opening and closing refrigerator wastes about 100kWH of electricity per year, so by using Thermos, I reduced the number of times I opened and closed the fridge.
  7. I raised more plants at my house in order to provide and supply oxygen and reduce carbon dioxide within my house.
