1.Change
a light - Replace one regular light bulb with a compact fluorescent
light bulb will save 150 ponds of carbon dioxide a year! |
2.Drive
less - Walk, bike, carpools or take public transportation more often.
You'll save one pound of carbon dioxide for every 1.6km you don't drive! |
| 3.Recycle
more - You can save 2400 pounds of carbon dioxide per year by recycling
just half your household waste. Collect glass, plastic, paper, metal and
aluminum. They raw materials which can be re-used. |
4.Check
your tires - Keeping your tires inflated properly can improve gas
mileage by more than 3%. Every 4 liters of gasoline saved keeps 20 pounds
of carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere! |
5.Use
less hot water - It takes a lot of energy to heat water. Use less
hot water by installing a low flow showerhead (350 pounds of CO2 per year)
and wash your clothes in cold or warm water (500 pounds of CO2 saved per
year). It works well, you will be surprised. In the tropics, finish your
shower with cold water. |
6.Avoid
products with a lot of packaging - You can save 1200 pounds of carbon
dioxide if you cut down your garbage by 10%. but 20 - 30% are possible
if you buy bigger packages. If you do not use supermarket plastic bags
- use cotton bags you can use for years! |
| 7.Plant
a tree and bamboo - A single tree will absorb over one ton of carbon
over it's lifetime. One bamboo club will absorb over 180 pounds of CO2
every year, one hectare of bamboo absorbs 33 tons of CO2 each year! |
8.Turn
of electronic devices - Simply turning off your television, DVD player,
stereo and computer when your 're not using them will save thousands of
pounds of carbon dioxide every year! |
9.Open
a window, use fans or move to a cooler place if Bali is to hot for you
- Turning off your air conditioner will save at least a ton of CO2 every
year! |
| 10.Buy
wooden or cotton toys for your children - They anyway better for learning,
reducing your household waist and last 100 times longer. |
11.Re-use
your office papers for shopping lists, notes and your kids drawings
- Paper is a raw material we are starting to run out very soon - don't
waist it. |
| 12.Reduce
your household chemicals to up to 0 - Use natural soaps (anyway better
for your skin), natural shampoos and household soaps. Avoid bleaches and
other strong chemicals in your home and work. They unhealthy and polluting
our planet! |
| 13.Eat
organic - Supporting organic farming supports farmers which are not
using chemicals. Less pollution for our water and the soil! Keeps important
little life on earth alive. |
14.Buy
bamboo furniture - The easy re-growing plant makes a great piece of
furniture and not tree has to fall! Bamboo makes a wonderful flooring. |
| 15.
Buy organic cotton - Production of cotton takes high intake of water
and chemicals. Using organic cotton helps to support farmers which work
without chemicals and don't pollute the water. Aral Lake is the worst
example in human history how excessive farming can destroy a whole area.
(Aral Lake was the biggest lake in the world. Excessive Cotton farming
reduce the once most wonderful and fertile are to a deserted and highly
polluted desert with anemic women and children left over...) |
| 16.
Buy products made from recycled materials - Today we find many creative
designs made from rubbish. Wonderful glass sculptures, bags from plastic
packing, tins become rubbish bins and watering cans and recycled wood
from old houses make a wonderful piece in each house. If you are a designer
- this is the future of our creative outcome! |
| 17.
Use natural remedies - The production of each drug you using causes
pollution for our planet. Twice! The production and later when your body
released the left over of such drugs. Nothing disappears in this world! |
| 18.
Teach your neighbor - Networking in communities is most important.
Take this print out and teach other people around you who do not have
easy access to such information. You cannot blame the one who does not
know - only the one who does NOT want to know! |
19.
Solar Energies - The most easiest and cheapest energies in the world
is still not used enough. Solar panel are still overpriced. Governments
should support those producing solar energy rather than making them pay
tax on solar energy. There are solar cookers which work very well in tropical
countries and with 0 pollution. |
20.
Advertising - Keep your advertising simple. A small namecard from
recyceld paper or bamboo can be very efficent. Tousend of trees end up
as flyers which neer got read and become rubbish. Use online advertising
which is much more efficient. |
21.
Compost - Your kitchen waist makes fine food for worms and your plants.
Check out several websites or as your eco trainer how to compost. In Bali
I found to put the kitchen and garden waist just together in a box will
do. Once I fertilised 6 banana trees with organic waist and the bananas
were sweat and rich in taste. The trees became higher than I ever saw
them growing... |
22.
Buy local - Buy products which have been produced as close to your
home as possible. Transportation of products around half of the glob is
waisting big time energy and leaves a lot of carbon behind... |
22.
Close your fridge door - Standing for ages in front of an open fridge
door waists more energy as you might thing. We tested it in our house.
To keep the door open 10 minutes on our fridge made our parameter run
much and much faster. Think first. Open the door. Take out what you need.
Close the door! |
