2, always pay attention to the switch, socket and wire in good condition, increase the electrical equipment to update the circuit and switch equipment in time, so as to avoid insulation aging and leakage when heating;
3. When cooking with an electric cooker, you can soak the rice for 30 minutes first, and then turn on the electricity to heat it, so as to shorten the cooking time.
4. Unplug the power plug without watching TV for a long time, and the TV in front of the bed can be set with a sleep timer switch;
5. Don't blow your hair with a hair dryer in the air-conditioned room, so as not to increase the power consumption of the air-conditioned room;
6. Before cooking food in the microwave oven, spray some water on the surface of the food to improve the efficiency of the microwave oven and save electricity;
7. For institutions and schools, please install a time control switch on the power supply side of the water dispenser to automatically cut off the power supply when working or on vacation at night to save electricity. (Jiang Xun tip 1: Choose energy-saving air conditioner to save electricity every day.
The same cooling effect, less power demand, this is the beauty of energy-saving air conditioning.
If all households in the country use it, it can save 3.3 billion kWh of electricity every year, which is equivalent to building a 600,000 kW coal-fired power plant and reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 3.3 million tons.
Tip 2: Raise the air conditioner by one degree, saving 7% electricity.
In summer, the air conditioning temperature is too low, which not only wastes energy, but also weakens the human body's ability to automatically regulate body temperature.
As long as the air conditioner is raised by one degree Celsius, the country can save 3.3 billion kWh of electricity every year. In addition, reducing the temperature difference between indoor and outdoor also reduces the chance of catching a cold. ) 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, rather than 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.
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.
My kitchen art of war rice cooker saves energy when cooking. Hey, this is for ancient science education. It allows me to prepare lunch in a hurry morning and enjoy it comfortably when I come back at noon. It is also very energy-saving! It's very simple, that is, plug in the rice cooker before going out in the morning and cook it until it boils (about 10 minute), so that you can plug in household appliances such as computers and televisions to save energy: computers and televisions also consume a lot of electricity, so cut off the power supply in time when not in use. Try to turn down the brightness and volume of the TV. When the computer is in "sleep" mode, the power consumption is reduced to less than half, and if it is turned off without pulling the plug, there is still 4.8 watts of energy consumption. The power consumption of the fastest gear and the slowest gear of the electric fan is about 40%, so try to use low gear. There should be proper ventilation space around the refrigerator, away from heat sources, avoiding direct sunlight, removing the frost of the refrigerator in time, and reducing the frequency and time of opening the refrigerator. (total 1 page) Head, rice cooker ... Golden idea 1:
Environmental issues we are concerned about:
Plants are the most precious wealth of the earth, and we students waste a lot of paper. Many raw materials for papermaking come from plants, which will lead to the destruction of ecological balance. Some wood consumables in life should also be used properly.
We think we can improve the method:
1. Bind the useless paper in the old exercise book and make a draft.
2. Collect used draft paper, old exercise books and test papers, find a suitable way, and send them to the paper mill for further processing into usable paper.

2. Go to a close place to do business, just walk or ride a bike. Environmental protection and sports.
Problems faced by our improvement plan:
1. I'm too nervous to study.
2. Students have vanity. They think that the faucet at home is turned on a little bit on the floor, let the water drip down and then use a basin, so that the water meter will not move.
1. Laundry: When washing a small amount of clothes with the washing machine, the water level should not be too high;
2. Bathing: Don't leave the water in the shower head on all the time, get soaked as much as possible, wipe it all over with soap and finally rinse it off;
3, toilet water saving: If the toilet water tank is too large, you can put a brick or a coca-cola bottle filled with water in the water tank to reduce the amount of flushing each time;
4, one water is multi-purpose. After washing your face, you can wash your feet, fish water can be used to water flowers, rice water and noodle water can be used to wash dishes and chopsticks;
5. Collecting wastewater: prepare a vat for collecting wastewater at home, and collect household wastewater after washing clothes and vegetables to flush the toilet;
6. Washing tableware: It is best to wipe off the oil on the tableware with paper first, then wash it with hot water, and finally rinse it with warm water or cold water;
7. air conditioning dripping: when using air conditioning, dripping water at night can be connected to a bucket, which can completely turn waste into treasure;
8. Living habits: Turn off the faucet in time when brushing your teeth, taking hand sanitizer and putting on soap; Don't flush cigarette butts and broken garbage with the toilet; Wash potatoes, radishes, etc. Should be peeled before cleaning; When using water, if you need to open the door to answer the phone, you should turn off the faucet in time.
9. Cooking utensils, tableware and oil stains can be wiped with paper before washing, which can save water.
10, control the flow of faucet, and change the uninterrupted flushing into intermittent flushing.
First of all, at home
1. Lighting power consumption
Pay attention to turn off the lights. Use efficient and energy-saving light bulbs. The U.S. Department of Energy estimates that 400 million tons of carbon dioxide can be prevented from being released only by using energy-saving light bulbs instead of traditional ones.
Don't leave what you can finish during the day to do at night. Wash clothes and do homework before dark. Going to bed early and getting up early is good for health, environmental protection and energy saving.
2. Low-carbon cooking
Try to save energy in the kitchen. When cooking oil is heated, it produces carcinogens, which leads to the indoor environment pollution by oil fume. Reduce cooking and cook more vegetables. Don't fill the rice cooker and kettle too full, otherwise the soup will overflow after boiling, which will not only waste energy, but also easily put out the stove fire and cause gas leakage. Adjust the combustion range of the flame so that it does not exceed the outer edge of the bottom of the pot to obtain the best heating effect. If the fire in the pot is small, the flames burning around the bottom of the pot will only be wasted.
Cook and stir-fry at home, just eat and don't stir-fry. When you see discarded food on the road, you can pick it up and feed it to wild dogs, wild cats, birds and other small animals. Deteriorated food can be buried underground as fertilizer.
Second, on the road
1. Economy car
Energy-efficient cars produce less carbon dioxide per kilometer. Generally speaking, the heavier a car is, the more fuel it consumes and the more carbon dioxide it produces. Compared with economical small-cylinder cars, the carbon dioxide emissions of large SUVs and luxury cars are at least twice as high. Off-road vehicles have a high safety factor, but they consume a lot of fuel. The power transmission of automatic transmission cars is accomplished by hydraulic pressure, which will cause power loss when working, especially when driving at low speed or parking in traffic jam, and the fuel consumption is even greater.
2. Fuel
Gasoline and diesel: Environmentally friendly gasoline and diesel can improve the performance of automobiles. It can clean the engine of the car, reduce the friction of the engine and make the fuel burn more fully, thus reducing air pollution.
Bio-liquid fuel: Compared with traditional automobile fuel, bio-liquid fuel may reduce carbon dioxide emissions. China is already the third largest producer and user of fuel ethanol in the world. Fuel ethanol has been widely used in the vehicle fuel market in nine provinces of China.
Wise travel
Plan the best route before you leave.
Think carefully about your travel needs. Try to use public transport.
Have you ever thought about sharing a car with your family and friends? Do you really need to fly? Maybe teleconference will save more time, money and reduce carbon dioxide emissions.
4. Car maintenance
Do a good job in the daily maintenance of the car to ensure its best performance. Check tire pressure and oil. Remove the roof rack and box when it is not needed, because these will reduce the efficiency of the car 10% or more.
5. When driving
Pay attention to oil distribution and coordination when driving, and keep the economical speed. Tests show that stepping on the accelerator consumes 2-3 times more fuel than driving at medium speed, so avoid braking suddenly and starting abruptly when driving, and try to start smoothly.
When waiting in line, in traffic jam or waiting for someone, try to avoid idling the engine. The fuel consumption of the engine idling for 3 minutes can make the car run 1 km. Therefore, if the residence time exceeds 1 min, it should be closed.
Third, when shopping
1. Bring your own shopping bag or reuse plastic bags for shopping.
The raw materials of plastics mainly come from non-renewable mineral energy such as coal, oil and natural gas. Saving plastic bags means saving the energy of the earth. The amount of plastic waste in China exceeds one million tons every year. Disposable plastic bags not only cause huge waste of resources, but also increase the amount of garbage sharply.
Buy local products
Buying local products can reduce the carbon dioxide produced during product transportation. For example, according to a report released by the Ministry of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, in Britain, 8% of the carbon dioxide emitted by cars comes from vehicles carrying non-local products.
Buy seasonal products
Buying seasonal fruits and vegetables can reduce crop growth in the greenhouse. Many greenhouses consume a lot of energy to grow non-seasonal products.
Local food is most suitable for local people. Other goods produced locally are easy to maintain and have low cost. Seasonal food is the most suitable mature food for species growth in natural ecology, with the most nutrition and few kinds of additives. Out-of-season food is not only expensive but also less nutritious, and the added pesticides, fertilizers and combustion improvers are also harmful to health.
4. Reduce the purchase of animal foods such as meat, eggs and milk.
Raising livestock consumes more than 2/3 of cultivated land; Animal husbandry accounts for 16% of man-made methane on the earth. The production, packaging, transportation and cooking of meat consume much more energy than plant food, and plant food accounts for 25% of human behaviors that cause global greenhouse effect.
5. Use less disposable products
Shopping malls are full of disposable items: disposable tableware, disposable toothbrushes, disposable signature pens ... disposable items bring temporary convenience to people, but bring disasters to the ecological environment. They accelerate the depletion of the earth's resources, and produce a large amount of garbage that causes environmental pollution. Taking disposable chopsticks as an example, China exports about 6.5438+0.5 million cubic meters to Japan and South Korea every year, which consumes 2 million square meters of forest resources.
6. Don't fall into the trap of luxury goods
The more fashionable the product, the faster it will be updated. Whether it's electronic products or fashion clothes, businesses are constantly innovating to stimulate people's desire to buy. Those "moonlight clan", "car slave" and "card slave" who pursue luxury consumption not only waste resources, but also bear heavy economic shackles. Whether they are rich or negative can only be known whether they are cold or warm.
7. Overpackaging
Pay attention to buying products with simple packaging. This means less energy consumption in the production process of packaging. Reduce the garbage sent to the landfill and reduce the economic burden of consumers.
8. Benefits of using recycled materials
Products made of recycled materials usually consume less energy than products made of original materials. For example, using recycled steel for production consumes 75% less energy than using new steel.
Car transportation is good enough. It's a shame to take a bus.
