Facts about the major CO2 contributor!
SAY NO TO SCREEN SAVER!!
If you are forced to leave the computer in a hurry, do not activated the screen saver! Not only save the energy, but also reduce the emission of carbon dioxide. Turn off computers when not in use can reduce emissions up to 83%, a 63 kg per year. Better use the laptop than a computer because the laptop use electricity five times less than the computer. TV, DVD player, HiFi or home theater should also be turned off if it is not being used.
TAKE OFF YOUR TIE AND SUIT!!
In Japan, 2005, during summer people take off the ties, successfully reduce the emissions of carbon dioxide up to 71,700 tons! So, remove our tie and suit, moreover we are in the tropical country. And believe, even we not using tie and suit, we still look cool and professional.
JUST OPEN UP THE WINDOW AND LET THE SUNSHINE IN!!
Reduce the carbon dioxide emissions by limiting the use of AC (Air Conditioner). Open the window widely! Clean the refrigerator’s coil regularly. Set the refrigerator’s temperature from 2 until 3 degrees Celsius, and the freezer at -18 to -15 degrees Celsius.Provide enough space between the refrigerator and the wall for air circulation. The trapped heat can increase energy consumption. Maximize the capacity of refrigerator and washing machine. If the weather is sunny, do not use dryer.
Use Compost!!
When foster agricultural land, some of the fertilizer contain nitrogen that changed into N2O, a gas that cause greenhouse effect 320 times greater than the carbon dioxide. Use the compost that we made by ourselves from household wastes. Not only contains a little nitrogen, we can also reduce the waste heap. Midden metana produce a green house effect that 20 times greater than the carbon dioxide. Reduce the uses of chemical pesticides. Despite pest so dead, it’s also cause the dead of the microorganism. Thanks to the microorganisms, the carbon stays in the soil. If they’re dead, the carbon gases to the atmosphere as carbon dioxide and does not become the ground doesn’t fertile so that we will use more and more pesticides.
PLANT BAMBOO!!
Planting trees help to the absorption of carbon dioxide. But we better planting bamboo. In fact bamboo is able to absorb carbon dioxide four times more than the trees because the it’s growing faster than other trees. But only the widespread planting of bamboo that can absorb carbon dioxide significantly. So, let's do the planting bamboo..!
AND REMEMBER
The status of global carbon emissions in 2007 is 8 billion tons per year. Without any attempt to reduce it, in the year 2057 will reach 16 billion tons per year. It means, the temperature of the earth will increase 5 degrees Celsius per year.
