Below are 10 tips to keep our environment:
A. Replace light bulb with a CFL
Many of us know that the small fluorescent lamp (light bulb compact flouresecent / CFL) is an energy saving light bulbs age longer than ordinary light bulb, also only require at most a quarter of the energy required for the ordinary light bulb produces the same bright light.
Some CFL products often include ENERGY STAR label which means it has tested the quality and efficiency. It has a label products are usually more expensive than products that do not have it. But make no mistake, the electrical equipment we buy is not determined only the price of the purchase price, but most do not care the price of electricity usage charges for the equipment. So even though the ENERGY STAR labeled CFL product purchase price is more expensive, but we actually save money in the long-term use because of the electricity used ENERGY STAR-labeled products is much smaller and longer shelf life.
Not only that, an ordinary light bulb uses a glowing wire or metal as light sources also produce carbon dioxide (CO2) during the operation.
Then to conserve electricity, the simple things we can do is turn off unneeded lights, or reduce the lighting of the lamps when sunlight can enter the room and can be quite light up the room.
2. Changing the way drive or use another vehicle
The bad news of a car can generate at least as much carbon dioxide produced by the residents of your household and excessive carbon dioxide is one of the causes of global warming. The good news, we can anticipate it in various ways.
The first way is to use the vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas. Vehicles with fuel gas is safer for the environment, but for now more expensive than vehicles with fuel oil.
The second way is to reduce driving. This thing is pretty hard to do. Because the riders usually have a tendency to further driving again in the next. It can be anticipated by telecommuting (working from home using a computer connected to the computer where you work) or by using public transport. Two things are pretty hard to do in Indonesia, as both facilities are still inadequate.
The third way is to do tune-ups on your vehicle. Believe it or not, tune-ups can improve fuel efficiency of your vehicle up to half.
The fourth way is not speeding. Speeding was fast, but fuel is used up too much. As a result of carbon dioxide produced too much.
3. Set the room temperature
One of the major electrical energy use is for air conditioning equipment (Air Conditioner / AC). Replacement of old AC could be one alternative, because the old air conditioner has a lower efficiency of up to one third of a new type of air conditioner efficiency. And do not forget to clean and filter ventiasi of AC, because a dirty filter and ventilation can dramatically reduce the efficiency of air conditioning.
The next way is to set the appropriate temperature, not too cold. Because the temperature is too cold settings require greater electrical energy. Temperature settings can be done by installing a programmable thermostat.
4. Defeat the refrigerator
Believe it or not the fridge could be the biggest energy glutton in your house if operated improperly. To prevent this, there are some things you can do.
Do not operate the refrigerator near heat sources, or put it under the sun. Do not forget to clean the condenser refrigerator to improve the efficiency of the refrigerator. Do not forget to close the refrigerator door. Do not set the refrigerator temperature is too cold, just enough. Then if there is the "Energy Saver", do not forget activated. But if your refrigerator is old, maybe you could consider replacing a refrigerator with a new refrigerator, because it can increase the efficiency of refrigerators by 50%.
5. Reduce use of water heaters
Water heating is one of the major users of electrical energy. For use with efficient water heaters do the following. Do not turn the water heater all the time, turn on only when it needs it, use a timer if necessary. Equip hot water pipes with insulation to keep the water hot for inside the pipe.
6. Set the plants
Planting trees is only good for short term because of too many trees also produce carbon dioxide. But there are other reasons that can be used, eg to reduce cooling costs by shutting down the cooling or heat certain rooms from direct sunlight.
For the selection of plants, you should use that requires little water. Choose perennials. If using plants that need lots of water, place the huddle to conserve water usage and adjust the humidity around the plant.
7. Investment for green energy
A moment later the mines could run out of oil. Then how the solution for a new energy source. Until now enough resources worth considering is the source of nuclear energy and gas. Nuclear energy produces radioactive sources that have negative effects in the long term. While the gas energy is renewable, but the energy produced is relatively small. So perhaps the source of gas energy can be used as a transition before the discovery of new energy sources the better. So why are we not investing in new energy discoveries.
8. Thinking of organic
Pesticides are used diperkebunan was used to kill crop pests, but the dead are not only pests, but also that there are micro-ground oranisme binding element that serves to enrich the soil carbon. So after the micro-organisms die, the carbon released into the air as carbon dioxide, and ground into fertilizer need for additional fertilizer. So better not to use chemical pesticides to repel pests, may consider to use other means to repel pests such as by using a predator of the pest.
9. Using recycled goods
Producing recycled goods is easier than producing new goods. So if we use recycled goods, we can increase trade while also minimizing energy use. Not only that, the recyclables are usually much cheaper than the new stuff, get to third.
10. So a minimalist
These things are not easy. While consumption patterns increasingly popular in the community, difficult for Us to make savings. But remember, the more goods we buy, the more energy is used to make goods. So to save energy, we better save. Better creative work, games and entertainment, as to be able to do everything that does not have to use the new stuff, old stuff can be used again in a creative way.
