記住這幾點(diǎn)，做低碳人士

 

1. Take showers rather than baths and reduce your shower time by two minutes. This will save water and give you an extra two minutes in bed.

建議采用噴頭淋浴而非浴缸?？s短兩分鐘洗澡時(shí)間，省水同時(shí)為自己多爭(zhēng)取兩分鐘睡眠時(shí)間。

2. Only turn the water heater on when necessary, and adjust temperature controls to avoid overheating. Put a lid on a pan when boiling water.

熱水器不用就別開，控制溫度不要過熱。燒水時(shí)把壺蓋蓋好。

3. The greediest home device along with the washing machine is the fridge. Make sure it's as efficient as possible by keeping it out of direct sunlight and away from the oven or heater. Don't put food in when it's still warm.

和洗衣機(jī)一樣位列“最貪婪”家電的就是電冰箱了。電冰箱要避免太陽直射，遠(yuǎn)離微波爐或加熱器，盡量保證它的工作效率。另外，切記不要把熱的食物放進(jìn)冰箱。

4. This is obvious, but essential: switch off all appliances when you're not using them. This includes lights.

這一點(diǎn)很明顯也很重要：不使用時(shí)，關(guān)掉所有電器，包括燈。

5. Conserve energy by using efficient light bulbs. They use about one-third of the energy of normal bulbs and last 10 times as long.

使用節(jié)能燈泡節(jié)省能源。它們的耗電量?jī)H是普通燈泡的三分之一，持續(xù)時(shí)間卻是后者的10倍。

6. Take your own mug and cutlery to work. This saves throwing away disposable cups and containers--but that could be outweighed by washing your cutlery. So, pay attention to how you use water when washing your dishes.

在單位盡量使用自己的杯子和餐具。這能減少一次性杯子和餐具的廢棄量——但是，這就意味著洗餐具要消耗很多水。因此，洗餐具時(shí)要注意用水方法。

7. Find out what the recycling options are in your area. Then make sure you keep items such as paper and plastic bottles separate so that they can be recycled. There are places where you can recycle electronic appliances and batteries. Make sure you find them.

了解身邊的回收利用設(shè)施。然后，確保把紙張、塑料瓶等物品分開以方便回收。也有回收電器、電池的地方，確保你能找到它們。

8. Look for reusable, recyclable, biodegradable items and remember to carry your reusable shopping bags!

使用可再用、可循環(huán)、可降解物品。記得使用可再用的購(gòu)物袋。
