Home life advice: the section will be "low carbon up to people"

In order to help you quickly become a "low carbon talent", industry experts give advice on home life, I hope that you can practice in daily life, take practical actions to reduce carbon emissions, and contribute to the protection of the living environment. At home, you can't afford to consume all kinds of energy. If you can pay attention to the section, you can save a lot of money in addition to reducing energy consumption and reducing carbon emissions.

Energy efficient lighting

Be careful to turn off the lights and use energy efficient light bulbs. The US energy sector estimates that the use of energy-efficient light bulbs instead of traditional light bulbs will prevent the release of 400 million tons of carbon dioxide. It is best not to switch the energy-saving lamps in a short time. The energy-saving lamps are the most power-consuming when switching.

Low carbon cooking

Try to save energy in the kitchen. Edible oil produces carcinogens when heated and causes soot to contaminate the living environment. Reduce fried and fried dishes and cook more vegetables. Don't pack the rice cooker and the kettle too full, otherwise it will overflow the soup after boiling, which will waste energy and easily extinguish the stove fire, causing gas leakage. Adjust the burning range of the flame so that it does not exceed the outer edge of the bottom of the pan to achieve the best heating effect. If the pot is too small, the flame will burn around the bottom of the pot and consume only gas.

Electrical energy saving

When purchasing washing machines, televisions, air conditioners and other appliances, choose reliable low-energy products. When the TV or the computer is not in use, the power supply is cut off in time, which not only saves electricity but also prevents the short-circuit caused by the short circuit of the socket. Keep the refrigerator in a frost-free state.

Recycling

The recycling of materials by means of recycling can reduce the amount of new raw materials produced and thus reduce carbon dioxide emissions. For example, the recycling of organic materials such as paper and cardboard can avoid the release of biogas from the landfill (a greenhouse-causing gas, mostly methane). According to statistics, recycling one ton of waste paper can produce 800 kilograms of recycled paper, which can cut 17 large trees, save more than half of papermaking materials and reduce water pollution. Therefore, saving paper is to protect the forest and protect the environment.

Garbage classification

Waste sorting can recover valuable resources while reducing the energy consumed by landfills and incineration of waste. For example, waste paper is sent directly to paper mills for the production of recycled paper; beverage bottles, cans and plastics can also be sent to the relevant factories to become renewable resources; household appliances can be sent to specialized manufacturers for decomposition and recycling. Different garbage bags can be prepared at home to collect waste paper, plastic, packaging boxes, kitchen waste and so on. The daily classification and recycling of waste is not only our responsibility, but also helps to cultivate children's habits and consciousness of caring for the environment.
