The overall pattern of "China Energy-saving Product Certification Mark" is blue, which symbolizes that human beings make the sky and ocean return to blue through energy-saving activities. As an "energy-saving housewife", of course, we should buy products with certification marks to save energy. In addition, we should choose an air conditioner with appropriate power according to the room size, and choose a refrigerator with appropriate capacity according to the family population and living habits.

Step 2 make old things gorgeous

Renovating old things creatively can not only prolong their service life, show women's ingenuity, but also save money. So why not do it? For example, cut off two trouser legs of old jeans, and then sew two belts on the waist with the remaining cloth, and a beautiful and chic backpack is completed.

As long as you have the heart and are willing to use your head, there must be many "laid-off" things at home that can be successfully "re-employed".

3. Use more natural energy

The first push is of course solar energy. Families living on the top floor can install solar water heaters if possible, which is energy-saving and environmentally friendly. Many people think that installing solar water heaters at home will be stingy and lonely, but this is by no means a question of money, but an environmentally friendly lifestyle.

4. Create an "ecological home"

Indoor furniture, floors, cabinets, bookshelves, including kitchen counters. , should use formaldehyde content in line with environmental standards of green building materials. At the same time, using outdoor corridors, terraces and small gardens as living spaces not only saves energy, but also is close to nature.

5. Try to buy local products.

After a long journey, consumer goods finally reach consumers from farms, pastoral areas and industrial parks all over the country to supermarkets in big cities. If you make an ecological bill and calculate how much energy and waste gas those foreign products need to transport from far away, you will consciously start buying local products.

6. Strive for multiple uses of one water

To use more water, you can prepare a few small buckets at home, collect the water for washing and bathing and flush the toilet, or water the flowers with the water for washing rice and vegetables, and mop the floor with the water for washing hands and faces ... A small move is a great contribution to water saving.

Energy saving effect of 14. 1℃

1℃ may not be felt by the body, but the energy-saving effect is self-evident. According to the test, the temperature of air conditioner rises by 65438 0℃ in summer. If you run 10 hour every day, a 1.5 air conditioner can save 0.5 degrees of electricity. In addition, the low-speed operation of air conditioners and electric fans in summer can appropriately increase the set temperature of air conditioners, which is both comfortable and energy-saving.

15. The refrigerator has many energy-saving tips.

Freezing frozen food in the freezer for a period of time can cool the freezer, thus achieving the purpose of energy saving. It is advisable to store 80% food in the refrigerator. If the food is stored too little, the heat capacity will be reduced, and if it is stored too tightly, it will not be conducive to the circulation of cold air and will increase the running time of the compressor. According to different seasons, the temperature control file of refrigerator should be raised in summer and lowered in winter, which can reduce energy consumption. Close the door after opening the refrigerator, minimize the number of times to open the door, and check whether the refrigerator door is closed at any time.

16. Shh! Quiet can also save energy.

On a summer night, a cool breeze blew in from the window, and the baby smiled sweetly in his sleep ... what a peaceful picture. However, the noise pollution in cities is getting worse and worse, and sometimes we can't even be quiet. Let's start with ourselves. Turning down the volume of TV and stereo can not only give us a quiet living space, but also save electricity.

17. energy-saving main microwave oven

Microwave ovens are more environmentally friendly and energy-saving than gas, but people always forget this because of their habits. In fact, the biggest advantage of microwave heating is that it only heats foods containing water and grease, and does not heat air or the container itself. The comparative experiment of food heating with the same weight shows that microwave oven saves energy by 65% compared with electric furnace and 40% compared with gas. Learn the microwave food menu and let this "energy-saving expert" give full play to his role.

18. The lamps are completely energy-saving.

Incandescent light bulbs at home should have been eliminated a long time ago. Energy-saving lamps are three times more efficient and nine times longer than incandescent lamps, and the brightness of the light emitted is equivalent. On the surface, an ordinary 40-watt incandescent bulb is cheaper than an 8-watt energy-saving lamp with the same brightness 10 ~ 20 yuan. However, if lighting for 5 hours every day, each energy-saving lamp can save 70 kWh per year, and if each kWh is 0.6 1 yuan, it can save 42.70 yuan a year. It should be noted that energy-saving lamps should buy products with certification marks, and do not buy inferior low-cost energy-saving lamps.

19. Don't buy too many toys for children.

Now the baby's childhood is very happy, and parents often buy many toys for the baby, but too many toys will cause waste, and the production process of toys will inevitably produce environmental pollution. Encourage children to cherish their toys, which can not only save energy, but also cultivate their emotions.

20. Pick up the "vegetable basket" again.

Nowadays, more and more housewives have picked up the "food basket" again. The biggest advantage of carrying a basket to buy food is to get rid of the bad habit that shopping is always inseparable from plastic bags. You know, this is not a trivial matter, but a major event that benefits the country and the people.

2 1. Dear "Second-hand Life"

There are always a lot of "chicken ribs" and things like that at home. It's really useless to keep it, but it's a pity to lose it, so it's often shelved.

Donate these things to families who need them more, or attend a "second-hand party" organized by some friends to exchange things. Maybe something second-hand is just what you need.

22. Enjoy electricity at half price

Install time-sharing watt-hour meters, and try to use household appliances such as electric water heaters, rice cookers, washing machines, disinfection cabinets and electric irons. /kloc-between 0: 00 p.m. and 6: 00 a.m. the next day, you can enjoy half-price electricity consumption, avoid peak hours and save money.

23. Don't use disposable chopsticks

Facts have proved that disposable chopsticks are neither convenient nor hygienic compared with repeated chopsticks that need to be cleaned and disinfected every meal, and do not need many production bases and complicated transportation processes. Moreover, a 20-year-old tree can only be made into 6000 ~ 8000 pairs of chopsticks, and China needs to reduce the forest stock by 2 million cubic meters every year to produce disposable chopsticks. Therefore, starting from me, resolutely put an end to disposable chopsticks entering the house.

24. Use less canned food and drinks.

Nowadays, people consume more and more beer, soda water, bottled water and other canned food. In order to hold these foods, at least 2 trillion bottles, cans, cartons and plastic cups need to be made and thrown away every year, which consumes a lot of energy and resources. Therefore, it is not only good for health, but also a good energy-saving measure to take tap water and boil it before drinking, and use less canned food and drinks.

25. Take fewer elevators and take more stairs.

Housewives who live below the fifth floor can consider taking fewer elevators and taking more stairs. On the one hand, it can save electricity, on the other hand, climbing stairs is also a healthy aerobic exercise, which can be used for fitness. According to relevant data, the incidence of heart disease of people who climb five stairs every day is 25% lower than that of ordinary people, and the death rate of people who climb 700 stairs every day (equivalent to going up and down six floors three times) is lower than that of people who don't exercise 1/4 to 1/3. In other words, every time you climb a flight of stairs, you can extend your life by 4 seconds.

26. Have tried "primitive life"

Are computers, televisions and mobile phones really indispensable for people who are used to the busy life in the city? Occasionally, you can live a "primitive life" without these high-tech products for a few days, and you will find many benefits: not only saving energy, but also completely relaxing.

7. Take more baths and less baths

You might as well take fewer showers. In fact, the shower is also good, clean and water-saving. Avoid taking a long shower, preferably only for 3 minutes, which is beneficial to water and electricity saving. According to statistics, the water consumption of a shower for 2 minutes is equivalent to the total water consumption of an African in one day. In addition, when taking a bath, apply shower gel to your body and remember to turn off the tap.

8. Wash clothes in an energy-saving way

Install water-saving faucets in bathrooms and kitchens. Generally speaking, the flow rate of water-saving faucet is 0.046 liters/second, that is, 2.76 kilograms of water is discharged every minute; The flow rate of ordinary faucet is above 0.20 L/s, that is, the water output per minute is above 12 kg. In this way, you not only save energy, but also greatly reduce your water bill. In addition, when washing clothes, try to accumulate the capacity of the washing machine, soak the dirty clothes for about 20 minutes before washing, and set the water level of the washing machine according to the type, texture and weight of the clothes, which saves electricity and water.

9. Reduce the generation of domestic garbage

Reasonable garbage classification will make garbage recycling easier; At the same time, minimize the generation of domestic garbage, and the recycling of garbage is also very energy-consuming.

10. Even if you only buy one dress.

You have heard many examples of female shopaholics causing a lot of material waste. However, when one after another "new styles of the season" jump into women's eyes, many women are not sure. Then, set yourself a minimum-just buy one less piece of clothing. In fact, to keep up with the trend, buying clothes is not only wasteful, but also questionable in taste.

1 1. Borrow or lease policy

Just because you need it or like it doesn't mean you have to have it. Some things, such as baby strollers, children's beds, etc. Only for such a short time, why not borrow or rent it?

12. Reduce the standby energy consumption of household appliances

When general household appliances are turned off, their remote control switch, continuous digital display, wake-up and other functions remain energized, resulting in standby energy consumption.

Let's talk with data: the power consumption of an electrical appliance in standby state is about 10% of its starting power, which means the standby energy consumption of a TV set, air conditioner, stereo, computer, microwave oven, electric water heater, water dispenser, etc. The sum of what an ordinary family owns is equivalent to turning on 30-50 watts of lights all day.

The secret of cooking.

When cooking with a rice cooker, soak raw rice for 20 minutes before cooking, which can shorten the cooking time. Cooking the same amount of rice with a rice cooker, the 700-watt rice cooker saves more time and electricity than the 500-watt rice cooker. Don't use the rice cooker for more than 2 hours.

27. Energy-saving tips for household appliances

There are many energy-saving tips for the use of household appliances. For example, if the electric kettle wants to save electricity and boil water quickly, it is necessary to remove the scale of the electric heating tube frequently, improve the heating efficiency and prolong the service life; The brighter and louder the TV is turned on, the more power it consumes. You can turn on the 5-watt energy-saving lamp indoors and adjust the brightness and volume of the TV properly, which not only has a good viewing effect, but also is not easy to make your eyes tired. Add a layer of plastic wrap or cover to the food processed by microwave oven, so that the water in the processed food is not easy to evaporate, which not only tastes good but also saves electricity; When using the vacuum cleaner, choosing the appropriate power gear according to different situations and regularly cleaning the dust in the filter bag can reduce the airflow resistance, improve the dust collection efficiency and reduce the power consumption; Selecting a gas water heater with appropriate capacity and cleaning the ash on the fins of the heat exchanger regularly can improve the heat exchange efficiency.

28. Moderate supermarket shopping

Every time I go to the supermarket, will I buy a lot of things on impulse? Bold "shopping" certainly feels good, but when the food you bought has to be thrown away after the shelf life, will you also have the heartache of throwing away "hard-earned money" in vain? A well-run housewife always considers environmental protection and energy conservation. Shopping in a controlled and planned way not only saves family expenses, but also avoids overstocking too many idle items at home.

29. Reject over-packaging

A bunch of beautiful tulips, a few grass flowers, and wrapping paper may be as many as seven or eight. Although the packaging of some goods is really beautiful, as a smart housewife, you must know that packaging is one of the important sources of garbage. Excessive packaging is not only wasteful, but also causes white pollution. If you buy or accept over-packaged goods, you will not only indulge the waste of resources and energy, but also waste money. So start from me, from now on, refuse over-packaged goods, and gradually form a good social atmosphere. If this continues for a long time, its significance will not only save energy and money.

30. Bring your own toiletries when traveling.

Disposable toiletries consumed by hotels in China are piled up like hills every day. The electric energy needed to treat these disposable toiletries can make a medium-sized factory run normally for 3 ~ 7 days. In fact, it is only a trivial matter to bring your own toiletries when traveling. Think about it, in a foreign land, with a familiar pink toothbrush and a towel with a cute bear pattern, and a cup with a close photo of you and your husband, will it make you feel a little warm at home in a strange hotel? Don't forget, besides, you have also made your own contribution to energy conservation and emission reduction.
