Be a Green Queen

We always wonder how much energy can be safe just by switch off unnecessary light. There are few simple steps to help protect the earth. We can start by lessening our carbon footprint the measure of the amount of carbon dioxide and greenhouse gases caused by human activity.

Switch it off

But if you can’t switch things off line like your computer, put it into sleep mode to reduce energy use by 60 percent. If you turn off your mobiles or PDAs at night, you’ll need to charge them less. Unplug charges after use; most continue to charge even when they’re not attached to your device.

Power Down

Compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs) save over two-thirds more energy than a regular bulb. Get your air conditioners serviced regularly; if you’re getting a new one, look for an energy efficient model. This also applies to appliances like refrigerators and washing machines. Get the size you need – bigger isn’t always better.

Think Before You Print

Decide whether you need a hard copy or can manage without it. For emails, print what you need to save electricity and paper. How often has a whole chain of emails been printed, spanning many pages, when you only need the information on the first page? If your office has a duplex printer which prints on both sides, use the function. It not only halves paper use, but reduces energy consumption by up to 25 percent.

Combine Your Trips

Before driving down for the carton of milk, think about how you can make that trip more efficient. Perhaps you can save it for later and combine it with another; or if it’s somewhere close, grab your bicycle or walk instead. Planning a new car? Consider a hybrid, which combines a fueled engine with an electric motor.

Recycle

When we shopping for our dry or wet food bring our own carrier bag to reduce the amount of plastic bag been dispose at home. I’m always shopping at shop or supermarket that really concern about environment by using biodegradable plastics and encourage customer to use our own shopping bag by charge on every plastic bag been used by us. Educate and train our generation on how important to recycle their plastic bottle, a can of soda and newspaper.

So, by considering this few tips we can help to keep our world green and long lasting for our future generation.
