Go Green Episode 2
Here I continue my Go Green Episode 2. These are some ways that you may consider encouraging your family members to also do their parts in reducing the utility consumption:
1) Reduce Electricity Consumption
- Turn on fan instead of air-conditioner
- Turn off main power switches when not in use
- Switch off lights and electronic products when not in use
- Use energy-saving lamps and equipments
- Configure PCs to energy-saving mode
2) Reduce Water Consumption
- Do not leave water flowing unnecessarily during bath and when washing utensils
- Use half flush in toilets whenever possible
- Turn the tap off after filling pails with water
- Use water use for rinsing clothes for other purposes like floor washing
- Use watering cans to water plants instead of using a hose
- Fix leaking faucets
A little effort means so much…….
1) Stick friendly stickers, posters to remind family members and domestic helper to constantly reduce utility consumption.
2) Introduce tips in the forms of quiz questions and children get to remember the tips better in the process of thinking
3) Play the “penalty” game with the children if they do do not cooperate
