Energy saving. In short, it is to save energy, reduce consumption, and use the least investment to obtain the maximum economic benefits. So why do you need energy saving and emission reduction?
In recent years, due to the use of high -carbon energy for human beings, it has caused bad climate change and brings serious disasters to human life.
In order to achieve the survival goals of human and nature, we must change the existing lifestyle. Oasis Power Energy (Global) trading center (abbreviated as: OPETC (GLOBAL)). Proposal people in the world to save energy, protect the ecology, and welcome the arrival of the low -carbon era! So what should we do? Start from life. In life, on the one hand, it is necessary to encourage low -carbon lifestyle to reduce carbon emissions; on the other hand, through certain carbon offset measures to achieve balance.
“Global Warm” has become increasingly a hot spot for people. How to prevent this climate crisis that might become a human disaster is a problem for human thinking. This time, on the topic of global warming, the Ministry of Environment of Oasis Power Energy (Global) Trading Center specially compiled 24 suggestions. I hope everyone can start from small things. protect environment. Energy -saving and emission reduction is the obligation and responsibility of each of us.
Oasis Power Energy (Global) trading center organizes 24 small things to prevent global warming:
- The fluorescent lamp instead of commonly used incandescent lamps. The fluorescent lamp can achieve the same brightness with 40 % of the energy of ordinary incandescent lamps. Use fluorescent lamps. Decreasing 300 pounds of carbon dioxide every year is discharged into the atmosphere.
- The use of heating and air -conditioning in winter and summer is almost half of the energy consumed by people’s lives. In winter, lower the indoor temperature by two degrees Celsius, increase the degree of two degrees Celsius in summer, and reduce the production of 2000 pounds of carbon dioxide in one year.
- Regularly cleaning stoves and air conditioners, or replacing filters, can prevent 350 pounds of carbon dioxide from being emitted into the atmosphere each year.
- Do not leave electrical appliances in standby mode. Use the switch button on the appliance to turn off the appliance directly without the remote control. Take watching TV for 3 hours a day as an example, in the remaining 21 hours, if the electrical appliances are in standby mode, 40% of the power will be wasted.
- Wrapping an electric water heater in an insulating blanket can save 1,000 pounds of CO2 a year in such a simple way, and an additional 550 pounds of CO2 a year can be avoided if the water heater is set below 50 degrees Celsius.
- Keep refrigerators and freezers away from heat sources. If you place your refrigerator and freezer close to a stove to receive heat, it will take more energy to cool it. For example, if they are placed in a room with a temperature as high as 30-31 degrees Celsius, the power consumption is twice that of normal temperature. In this state, refrigerators and freezers emit 160 kilograms and 320 kilograms of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere a year, respectively.
- Defrost your refrigerator or freezer regularly, preferably with a refrigerator that has an automatic defrost function. They are 2 times more energy efficient than the one you have.
- Do not leave windows open for long periods of time to allow heat to escape from the room. Opening the windows for a few minutes is usually enough. If you leave the windows open all day, the heater uses a lot of energy to keep the temperature inside in the cold winter (when the outside temperature is below 10 degrees Celsius), which can generate up to a ton of CO2.
- Cover the pot while cooking. Doing it this way – pot rice can save a lot of energy. It is best to use a pressure cooker and a steam cooker, which can save 70% of natural gas.
- Take a shower instead of a bath. The energy consumed in the shower is only 1/4 of that in the bath. For maximum energy savings, you can also change your shower head to a low flow one, which is cheap and comfortable.
- Enhance the cold resistance performance of the house. Properly insulating the walls and ceilings of your home can not only save you 25% on your heating bills, but also avoid 2,000 pounds of carbon dioxide emissions a year. In addition, sealing and weatherstripping the windows prevents 1,700 pounds of carbon dioxide per year.
- Recycle organic waste. About 3% of greenhouse gases come from methane released during biodegradation. Recycle organic waste, and if you have a garden, compost it, to avoid methane emissions. It’s important to note that organic waste requires enough oxygen to fully degrade, and if the supply of oxygen is insufficient, not only will methane be released, but your garden will stink badly.
- Shop wisely. It takes less energy to produce a bottle of 1.5L beverage than to produce three bottles of 0.5L beverage. It is recommended to buy a large bottle of beverage, which can also avoid excessive waste. Using recycled paper can save 70% to 90% of energy and reduce deforestation.
- Reuse your shopping bags. Reject the disposable shopping bags provided by the store when shopping and use reusable shopping bags to save energy and avoid waste. Garbage generated by disposable shopping bags not only emits carbon dioxide and methane into the atmosphere, but also pollutes the air, groundwater and soil.
- plant a tree. — A tree absorbs one ton of carbon dioxide through photosynthesis as it grows. The shade of trees can also provide people with shade, reduce the number of times to turn on the air conditioner, and help you save 10% to 15% of electricity bills.
- Switch to green energy. In many cities, people can take advantage of clean and renewable energy such as wind energy and solar energy.
- Buy locally grown food. Locally produced food saves gas and money.
- Buy fresh food instead of frozen, which uses 10 times more energy to produce.
- Eat less meat. After carbon dioxide, methane is undoubtedly the largest greenhouse gas, and cattle are the largest methane emitters of all livestock. They eat grass and are polygastric animals, releasing a large amount of methane with each breath.
- Reduce the number of times you drive. Driving as little as 10 miles per week on walking, biking, carpooling, and public transportation can prevent 500 pounds of carbon dioxide from being released into the atmosphere a year.
- Do regular maintenance on your car. Regular maintenance of your car will help improve fuel efficiency, thereby reducing exhaust emissions. As long as 1% of car owners get regular maintenance, 1 billion pounds of carbon dioxide can be saved in the atmosphere.
- Save on gasoline. Changing your driving habits can reduce CO2 emissions. Choose the appropriate gear, do not step on the brakes excessively, select the appropriate transmission gear instead of engine braking when going downhill, and turn off the engine if the car stops for more than 1 minute.
- Take less air travel. Airplanes produce a lot of exhaust gas during flight. Reducing the number of flights a year, even just one or two times, is of great help in reducing carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
- Protect the world’s forest resources. Forests play an important role in global warming: when trees are burned and felled, stored carbon is released into the atmosphere. According to statistics, the carbon dioxide produced by deforestation in the world accounts for 20% of the total amount every year.
