Hello!
Global warming is not someone
else problem as all of us are responsible on it. Little practice could give a
small change for us to save the mother earth.
In the previous entry, we had
shown you the guidelines to implement green features for your home which is here,
thus today, I want to share with you how to make your home a carbon-friendly
home.
The tips are as follow:
1.
Use
climate-friendly appliances
Buy an energy-
efficient refrigerator, washing machine and air conditioner. You could help to
save the mother earth by reducing nearly half a tonne of CO2 a year! House
appliances with
“Energy Star” label are recommended if you don’t know what type of
machine to buy.

3.
Never
dump, compose!
More than a third
of food waste is biodegradable and could be composted. It provides clean and
odourless environment once it is loaded in composting bin. It also benefits you
in term of economic as it is converted to fertiliser. Yeay, no more ride to
plant nursery to purchase fertiliser. Save money on petrol as well as compost!
Where could you get the composting bin? You can always make the bin by yourself
as it very easy to do so, just Google it up. Or I might tell you how to do it at
the next entry.
4.
Planting
habit
As all of us
know, trees and plants absorb Carbon Dioxide (CO2). Therefore, start
gardening and plant your favourite trees. You might not realize that you are
reducing the impact of global warming.
5.
Light
up efficiently
Switch to
Compact Fluorescent Light Bulbs (CFLs) which is originally qualified for ENERGY
STAR label. CFLs use 75% less energy compared to traditional incandescent bulb
and last longer (6 times). In addition,
it produces about 75% less heat, so it’s safer, save energy cost with home
cooling and reduces 0.08 tonne of CO2.
It is simple and easy to do, make it
your habit, it will eventually become a second nature to be eco- friendly. So,
change your lifestyle from now on, and Go Green instead.
If you feel heat, it might come
from you, therefore, Don’t Complain, Make A Change!
