What changes would you suggest in your home in order to be environment-friendly?
Environment- friendly consciousness is not only about the plastic bags, we have to be more conscious about the pollution control, wildlife protection and conservation, conservation of natural resources and some other actions which helps in reducing the stress conditions of the environment and all this depends on our everyday choices we make. Some changes that can be done in our homes to be environment- friendly:-
1. By saving electricity:- we should switch off our lights, fans television and energy or light appliances when they are not in use.
2. By using solar panels:- Solar panel is designed to absorb the sun’s rays as the source of the energy for generating electricity. We should use solar panels instead of generators or invertors. Almost 28- 35 solar panels are used to power a house but it also depends on the roof size, location or the number of appliances being charged by the solar panels.
3. Separation of biodegradable and non- biodegradable waste:- we should separate the biodegradable or non-biodegradable waste. Biodegradable means which can be decomposed easily like dry waste (peels of vegetables that can be used for making the fertilizer for improving the soil fertility). And, non- biodegradable is which can’t be decomposed easily like polythene, electronic waste which affects the environment.
4. By saving water:- Tap should be off while we are brushing our teeth or shaving, we should not waste the water of aquaguard as the water we consume from aqua guard, it releases the maximum amount of water than the water we are using. Approximately RO purifiers waste approx. 3 litres of water for every 1 litre of purified water. So, we should use this waste water for the plantation, for animals, for birds etc. or we can also use this waste water in mopping the floor.
5. By using these five phenomena reuse, reduce, repurpose, refuse or recycle in the kitchen appliances or in home.
