The house is a haven where we used to unwind after a long day of work or activity outside. As a place to rest a comfortable situation and quiet is a dream for every person. Not too much really, considering almost about 8 hours of our time in a day spent at home. We do not want to spend eight hours is the same as when we are not working?
Besides being a place to rest, the house was able to mirror the character of its inhabitants. Any furniture that is used, the wall color is selected, the display ornaments, garden design electronic devices to characterize whether residents have a private modern, classic, dynamic, artistic, or futuristic. So much in the house reflects the character of its inhabitants, giving the home a person's self representation.
What about the one who loves nature, whether this concern is reflected in the residence? Of course! Each of the selected home chargers certainly comes from material that does not harm the natural features environmentally friendly lifestyle.
Let's see what are the things that can support the conservation of nature and environment.
1. Kitchen and Dining Room Tables
As much as possible cooking of food in small pieces.
Raw foods are cooked in small pieces will mature faster. Thus, it will save fuel for cooking.
Use coconut oil instead of palm oil.
Some of the oil palm plantation and production officially opened since many years ago, but in the last 20 years of oil palm plantations emerging massively with the buffer clearing human life.
Not infrequently in the process of opening new plantations violate the provisions of law and conflicts with local communities and eliminate various types of plants and living animals. It's never anything wrong with palm oil, but new plantings by removing the forest is not a wise move.
While in Indonesia there is no provision for the use of a specific label palm oil from plantations that do not destroy the forest. Do not want to risk damaging the forest participate albeit indirectly? Coconut oil can be an option.
Using water to wash vegetables and fruits wisely.
Vegetables and fruits should be washed before consumption. But lingering wash fruits and vegetables under running water is not a wise move. As an option, the consumption of organic fruits and vegetables. In addition to more healthy, organic fruits and vegetables are not exposed to chemicals that we do not need too long to wash the resulting water use more.
Buying local products.
Buying food produced around us. Eating fruits and vegetables grown by farmers from the city tentangga wiser than buying imported fruits and vegetables. Throw away the prestigious grounds, vegetable and fruit imports flown many hours with the use of expensive fuel and potentially damaging to the environment to arrive at our table.
Thoroughly before eating.
Observe whether our food contains protected animal body part or not. Obviously we do not want to deal with the law that began with a bowl of soup instead??? ..
Composting.
The rest of the rice and vegetables should not be directly in the waste in the trash. Although fairly?? Rest??, Rice and vegetables or the like still have the energy that can be utilized. Make a few square feet of our yard as?? Factory?? natural fertilizer from kitchen waste composting system.
The area is adjusted by the number of family members. No need to worry if we do not have enough land to make a compost pit. Today there are waste baskets are designed to replace the function of soil in composting. So that we can still mengompos organic kitchen while living in an apartment or dorm room
2. Wash chamber and Bathroom
Detergents without phosphates.
Phosphate in water bodies is necessary, but if phosphate is found in high concentration can potentially fertilize algae, water hyacinths and similar plants on the river. This is not positive, because algae and water hyacinth that too much can lower the oxygen content in the river and blocking sunlight penetration. This will disrupt the lives of fish and other organisms that live in the river. What to do with detergent? One of the products which can be found is in the phosphate in detergents. The use of detergents like these that threaten the lives of river organisms.
Saving water use.
Of course, we must be frugal with water. But saving water does not mean lowering standards of cleanliness. Immediately fix a leaking water pipes and water taps are not completely closed. Not because we have a lot of money so we can afford to pay any amount of the water bill, what can be bought by our money when the water is up and the water sources are dry??
When not needed.
Avoid excessive use of antiseptic soap. Antiseptic soap promises us free from disease-causing microorganisms. While it is also present in the microorganisms that benefit humans. Antiseptic agent contained in the soap will kill not only harmful microorganisms but also the beneficial microorganisms. When this is done continuously, microorganisms useful life will be threatened.
3. Garage
Vehicle service.
Vehicle service we need to do on a regular basis. Conditions were excellent machine will help save on fuel consumption. Immediately improve when there is damage to our vehicles.
Immediately sell the unused parts of vehicles.
In addition to economic value, sell vehicle parts will expedite the process of reuse. There might be others who are more in need of these parts.
4. Living Room and Family Room
Saving electricity usage.
Electricity is one contributor to global warming the earth. Saving electricity means to reduce the causes of global warming.
These savings can be done by:
Lowering the temperature of air-conditioning when not needed
Turning off lights after use
Unplugging electronic equipment from the AC outlet when traveling
Electronic equipment while power is off when it is still connected to the power source is still absorbing the electric current by approximately 40%.
Non CFC.
The content of freon potentially perforate the ozone layer of the earth. Exempt us from our homes with CFC refrigerant.
No Aerosol.
If possible replace our home air freshener aerosol deodorant scented products, replacing anti-mosquito spray with electric mosquito repellent.
Energy efficient electronic devices.
Consult with the clerk of electronic products we want to buy. How much electrical energy is absorbed? Is comparable to the features provided? Is there a similar product that is more efficient electricity? Once again, not how much money we have, but how much we care for the environment.
Optimize sunlight as home lighting.
Do not want to use too much light during the day, re-design the roof and walls of the house to get warm sunshine.
5. Dressing table
Products without animal testing.
Make sure the beauty products we use are not tested on animals or contain animal body parts. Check the product label or consult a salesperson before buying. Surely we do not want to have a face without wrinkles come from a monkey moaning in pain.
6. Park
Use native plants.
Exotic plants (plants not native to the local in a particular area) threatens native plants.
Energy saving garden lights.
Energy-saving lamps are not just for indoors. "Green" to the parks we use energy-saving lamps.
Watering garden with sage.
Use rice water to flush our favorite orchids, or washing water for watering mango meat on the home page. If possible, choose plants that do not require too much water.
