To solve the problems of air pollution and global warming, the most important thing is to reduce the emission of carbon dioxide and other waste gases, and the microwave oven at home is the king of power consumption, which also represents a lot of waste discharged during power generation.

According to the Central News Agency, scientists said in the journal General Environmental Science that people in EU countries have 65.438+300 million microwave ovens, and their power consumption causes 7.7 million metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions every year, equivalent to 8 million cars. In addition to microwave ovens, the carbon footprint caused by 654.38 billion vacuum cleaners, 654.38 billion 44 million hot water kettles and more than 654.38 billion hair dryers in Europe is even more amazing.

Most people know that air conditioners and electric heaters consume a lot of electricity. In fact, there are many electrical appliances that consume electricity at home. The following are listed:

induction cooktop

Unless for safety reasons, it is recommended to use gas stoves as much as possible when cooking at home, and to use induction cookers less, because the power of induction cookers is as high as 1200 watts, which is very power-consuming. People in Taiwan Province Province love to eat hot pot, and some people will directly use the induction cooker to make soup. It is recommended to boil water and basic ingredients before cooking with an induction cooker, otherwise it will consume a lot of electricity.

microwave oven

Microwave ovens are also very power-consuming appliances, similar to induction cookers. Nowadays, many families use microwave ovens for heating, but they also try to put the food to be heated in the microwave oven at one time, which is a waste of time and electricity.

vacuum bottle

A small thermos flask is not surprising, but if you buy a thermos flask with poor energy-saving ability, you can consume about 1.5 kwh of electricity for 24 hours a day, which is more than some refrigerators. It is suggested that citizens buy an electric hot water bottle labeled 1, which can save electricity by 1/3 to 1/2.

hair dryer

The power of hair dryer is as high as 1500 watt, which is higher than that of dryer. In summer, if the wind doesn't blow on the head, it is enough for boys to blow dry their hair directly, without using a hair dryer; Girls also try to blow dry their hair before blowing it, which not only saves electricity, but also reduces the time of hair exposure to hot air and reduces the damage to hair quality.

refrigerator

In fact, the power of the refrigerator is not high, which is not a power-consuming appliance, but it will naturally consume a lot of electricity because it is on standby for 24 hours. The refrigerator should save electricity. Besides opening and closing the refrigerator door less, it is also important to keep the refrigerator away from heat sources and avoid sunlight. In addition, the distance between the refrigerator and the surrounding walls should be greater than 10 cm, and it is advisable to leave a space of 30 cm at the top, so that the refrigeration efficiency of the refrigerator will be improved.
