There is only one village where human beings can live-the earth, but this village is being threatened by various environmental disasters created by human beings: water pollution, air pollution, river cut-off, garbage siege, vegetation shrinkage and endangered species

. We can't just worry and complain, but we must act. Let's choose a lifestyle that is beneficial to the environment to treat the earth well. You don't have to follow all the suggestions, just remember what you like and work hard slowly.

1. Save water-turn off the tap at any time and don't let the water run empty

Do you know that the serious shortage of water resources is threatening the survival of us and future generations, and bad water use habits are one of the bane of the water crisis? Don't underestimate the flowing water in that moment, please change the bad habit of using water!

-When you wash your hands, face and soap, please don't leave the tap running, because 1-18 liters of water will be wasted in one minute. Turn off the tap and then wipe the soap, so you can wash your hands more safely.

-don't use running water to wash dishes and laundry. Long running water is not cleaner than washing with a basin, but the water lost every minute is 1 times more than washing with a basin.

-the popularity of family bathrooms has facilitated our life, but have you considered the water-saving problem of bathrooms? Shower uses less water than bath. As long as you don't wash under the shower head for a long time, you can save water and electricity, and < P > gas, and you won't be in harmful gas for a long time.

2. Multi-use of one water-let the water be reused

As long as we use our brains, saving water is a breeze. Maybe you don't care about missing a few words from your water meter, but you will care about the health of the earth and be willing to leave a drop of life blood to future generations. Let's try

to see:

-the water for washing vegetables and rice can be used to water flowers; The water for washing hands and clothes can be kept in the container to wipe the floor and flush the toilet, so it is customary to use one water for multiple purposes.

-prepare a small bucket in the toilet and kitchen where water is commonly used, and save the used and reusable water for other purposes.

3. Stop dripping-check and repair the faucet

Some people say that when they hear dripping, they will feel that their blood vessels are bleeding. I wonder if you feel this way?

-please don't walk away in a hurry after you run out of water every time. Just take a second to see if the tap is turned off, and you can feel at ease.

-please repair the dripping faucet as soon as possible. If the faucet leaks a few drops of water a minute, it will waste tons of water a year.

—— If the drip of the faucet cannot be repaired in time, you can put a container under the faucet to catch the drip. Don't underestimate this dripping phenomenon. Do you know that Beijing drips several times more water a year than Beihai Park?

4. Be careful with cleaning agents-use soap as much as possible to reduce water pollution

Cleaning agents and other chemical cleaning products have become a necessity for most families, but do you think it is one of the culprits of water pollution? As long as we pay a little attention to our own behavior, we can reduce the pollution to the water environment.

—— Please use detergent as little as possible when cleaning tableware, because most detergent is a chemical product, which will pollute the water after being discharged into the water source. In fact, the amount of foam has nothing to do with the cleaning ability, so there is no need to put a lot of

detergent until the foam comes out.

—— If there is too much grease when washing dishes, the residual grease can be disposed of as garbage first, and then washed with hot noodle soup, so as not to discharge too much oil into the sewer. Kitchen utensils with heavy oil stains can also be

cleaned by heating water with baking soda powder. These ancient methods seem outdated, but they are beneficial to our health and environmental protection.

—— Use less phosphorus-containing washing powder. A large amount of phosphorus-containing sewage discharged into rivers will make the water eutrophication, which will harm fish and shrimp.

—— The raw material of soap comes from plant or animal fat, which is easy to biodegrade and has less pollution to water, which is much better than the general chemical formula. Washing clothes with soap will not only reduce water pollution, but also benefit your health.

5. Support green lighting-everyone uses energy-saving lamps

In order to save energy and reduce emissions, many countries are implementing green lighting plans. Would you like to participate? Then please try to use energy-saving lamps. Generally, 9% of the energy consumed by tungsten lamp will be converted into efficiency, and only 1% will be converted into < P > light; Using energy-saving lamps can not only make the room full of light, but also save 75% of electricity, and it is 5-1 times more durable than ordinary light bulbs. Of course, you have to be careful when choosing energy-saving lamps to prevent counterfeit and shoddy products. Saving electricity is both

energy saving and reducing air pollution. Saving 1 kWh will consume 33-4 grams of coal equivalent less, and emit about 1 kg of carbon dioxide and about 3 grams of sulfur dioxide less. Pay attention to turn off the unused lights and appliances at any time,

don't turn on the ever-burning lamps, and try to use natural light during the day. Maybe you don't care about the electricity bill, but you must hope that your small actions will slow down the global warming, prevent the harm of acid rain and prevent air pollution.

6. Save on electrical appliances-make efforts to slow down global warming

With the continuous popularization of hundreds of household appliances such as air conditioners, refrigerators and washing machines, household electricity consumption has greatly increased. As a person living in the era of electrical appliances, have you ever thought about how much non-renewable energy the surrounding electrical appliances will consume and what impact it will have on the atmosphere? In fact, everyone can greatly reduce the burden on the earth with a little effort.

—— When using air conditioning, the indoor air conditioning temperature should be set at not less than 26 degrees Celsius in summer and not more than 2 degrees Celsius in winter. It is best to turn on the air conditioner as little as possible, because the air conditioner consumes a lot of electricity, which will aggravate the emission of carbon dioxide < P >, cause the greenhouse effect, and some will destroy the ozone layer due to the use of freon. If possible, try not to install air conditioning, and try to use the flow of natural air to adjust the room temperature. Being in an air-conditioned room for a long time is not good for people's health, and it is easy to suffer from "air conditioning disease".

-when you watch TV, remember to turn off the computer or radio; When listening to music, don't leave the TV and computer on for a while to consume electricity; When using the computer, it's best to turn off the unused printers, etc. This can not only save energy, < P > but also cause no noise pollution.

-don't forget to clean the dust on the lamp or bulb frequently, and clean the radiator behind the refrigerator and the dust screen above the air conditioner frequently, which can reduce energy consumption.

-try to sweep the floor with a broom and reduce the use of vacuum cleaners.

7. Be a "bus family"-be proud of taking the bus.

Compared with private cars, the bus may seem a little crowded and inconvenient, but if everyone tries to take the bus, tram, subway and other public transportation when going out, the number of cars can be reduced.

8. Being a "bicycle hero"-protecting the atmosphere begins with a single step

Bicycle is one of the most energy-saving means of transportation. It doesn't need fuel and will not emit exhaust gas during use. In addition, it is small and convenient, and does not need a large parking lot like a car. You don't

have to envy those people who own private cars. Do you know that going out by bike is the environmental fashion, and the title of "bicycle hero" is also popular internationally!

9. Reducing exhaust emissions-the responsibility of drivers

When you are in the endless traffic, you may notice the pungent smell of automobile exhaust. Carbon monoxide in automobile exhaust combines with hemoglobin in blood 25 times faster than oxygen. Therefore, even if inhaled < P > trace carbon monoxide, it may cause hypoxic damage to people, ranging from dizziness and headache to permanent damage to brain cells. Because the automobile exhaust emissions are mostly below 1.5 meters, the automobile exhaust inhaled by children is twice that of adults < P >!

if you drive a lot, can you do something to reduce exhaust emissions? For example, try to avoid sudden braking, turn off the engine when the car is stopped, and consciously use the exhaust gas purification device. There must be more ways for you.

1. Cherish the paper-that is, cherish the forest

You may not directly cut down the forest, but do you think that wood is the main raw material for papermaking, and wasting paper is equivalent to joining the ranks of deforestation? Cherishing paper means cherishing our forest resources.

-please make full use of the blank space of the paper. The used paper can be turned over to make meeting paper, draft paper, post-it note paper, or made into a notebook. Expired calendars can be wrapped in book covers or donated to schools for the blind for braille

paper.

—— Refuse to accept those useless propaganda papers that are distributed everywhere. Making these propaganda materials will not only waste a lot of paper, but also destroy the city sanitation by distributing and posting them everywhere.

11. Don't send or send fewer cards-reduce the burden on the earth

At the end of each year, many people will be bothered by sending a large number of New Year cards. These exquisite greeting cards with precious wood resources as raw materials not only bring economic and spiritual burdens to people, but also bring ecological burdens to the earth. Have you

ever thought about changing this unnecessary social way and trying a new fashion? Don't send a lot of greeting cards during the New Year, which will not only reduce the workload of the post office, but also save a lot of good paper. Perhaps a phone call and an

e-card can better express your affection and friendship.

12. Buy environmentally-friendly batteries-prevent mercury and cadmium pollution

You can pay attention to how many electrical appliances use batteries around you. When you replace batteries, please choose environmentally friendly batteries to reduce the pollution caused by heavy metals in waste batteries. You can choose an environmentally-friendly battery

that does not contain mercury and cadmium (with the logo of No Mercury Cadmium or Mercury＆ Cadmium Free, and some with the logo of % Mercury). These environmentally friendly batteries, which do not contain mercury and cadmium, are less harmful to the environment. Rechargeable batteries don't need frequent replacement, which is more beneficial to the environment, especially using solar appliances.

13, choose green packaging-reduce the garbage disaster

Maybe you like to buy beautifully packaged goods, but do you think that those over-packaged goods are a double waste of resources and money? Overpackaging refers to the high-grade and complicated packaging materials. In fact, many countries have

begun to reduce the amount of harmless green packaging, and international trade is also advocating "putting green clothes on trade". It is an outdated behavior to produce and sell over-packaged goods, and it is an irrational consumption behavior to choose this kind of goods. Please get out of the misunderstanding of over-packaging and buy goods with reduced packaging. If you buy goods with excessive packaging, you might as well return the packaging to the store, so as to send a correct signal to the enterprise and the seller.

14. Use less disposable products-save the earth's resources

Please use more reusable durable goods. For example, use reusable containers to store food in the refrigerator, and try not to use disposable plastic wrap; Bring your own lunch box to eat at work or school to reduce the use of fast food boxes; Try to bring your own chopsticks when eating out, and use less disposable chopsticks; Use a replaceable pen instead of a disposable pen; Use mechanical pencil instead of ordinary wooden pencil; Try to bring your own kettle when you go out to play,

Use less bottled water to reduce the production of plastic waste; When traveling or on business, bring your own toothbrush, toothpaste, comb, slippers and other utensils, instead of using disposable utensils that are changed every day in the hotel.

15. Bring your own shopping bags-use less plastic bags

In the past, we went shopping with shopping bags and baskets, but later this habit was replaced by the abuse of plastic bags. Today, shopping with a vegetable basket and a cloth bag has become a fashion symbol of environmentalists, because it can reduce the use of plastic

bags, thus reducing "white pollution". Please bring your own shopping bag to go shopping, and get less plastic bags from the store; Reuse existing plastic bags; Bring vegetable baskets, rattan baskets or used plastic bags when buying food.

16. Exchange and donate surplus items-idle waste, glorious donation

There may be some useless things left in your home, but it's a pity to throw them away. Have you ever thought of reusing them in others through exchange or donation? If these things can be sent to poverty-stricken areas or disaster-stricken areas,

it will make the best use of them. In our country, some university students hold regular exchange donation meetings to collect their unused items and exchange them with each other to achieve the purpose of reuse. We can't go beyond the

finiteness of the earth's resources, but we can prolong their life by reusing them.

17. Make clever use of old things-prolong the life of limited resources

Many old things can be reused. You might as well try to change some useless things into some useful home furnishings and supplies. For example, use white foamed plastic to make photo frames, use wood or outdated clothes to spell

and post wall hangings, bedspreads or small plush toys, use plastic juice bottles to make various decorations, and use waste paper to make postcards and New Year cards. With a little brain work, you can turn many useless things into your own creative works, which not only saves leisure, but also protects the environment, killing two birds with one stone.

18. Classified recycling of garbage-overcoming the pollution of garbage with little effort

We make garbage every day. These garbage mixed with various harmful substances are taken to landfill, occupying land and polluting the environment. If this continues, will our planet become an uninhabitable garbage dump? Garbage without classification

is the devil that pollutes the environment and exhausts resources; Classified recycling is a treasure that benefits human beings and nature. Garbage classification ultimately creates a garbage-free society and a society with recycling resources. Garbage sorting is not only a matter for the government, but also for the press, non-governmental environmental protection organizations and every citizen. Garbage sorting only needs our little effort.

-recycling waste plastics and developing the "second oil field". Plastic products are convenient for our life, but they have a headache. Plastic products are light in weight and large in volume. If they are buried, they need to occupy a lot of land, and it is difficult to degrade. Burning will release harmful gases. The appropriate way is to send them for recycling. This not only eliminates "white pollution", but also regenerates resources.

-recycle waste paper and regenerate forest resources. Recycling 1 ton of waste paper can produce 8 kilograms of good paper, cut down 17 trees less, save 3 cubic meters of landfill space, save more than half of paper-making energy and reduce water pollution by < P > 35%.

-recycle biological waste and regenerate green fertilizer. More than 4% of the garbage we throw out from home every day is kitchen garbage such as peels, eggshells, vegetable leaves and leftovers, which can be fermented by composting.
