Clean Up Your Act Today! 

10 GREAT WAYS TO CLEAN UP YOUR ACT ALREADY!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1. Stop using every electrical appliance in the entire house at the same time already!  

The TV's blasting, five lights are blazing, the air conditioner is screaming away and a curling iron heats up while some chica blow dries her hair and gets ready to go out on me.  I'm not even bringing up the computers, the phones, the toaster and everything else. The list is endless these days.  USE LESS .... Just USE LEss .... Act like a mad scientist and try and come up with fun ways to USE less!  

 

And if you can afford to buy appliances - make sure you get the ones that are energy efficient too ...otherwise, when you get the electric bill you might have a heart attack. One of the best ways to conserve electricity is by switching off all the lights in your place and UNPLUGGING all appliances, not in use.

 

If you will wash your clothes in warm and cold water instead of using hot water. It's better for me and for them too.  Try solar power for heating water instead of an electrical appliance if you're in a house.

 

2. Drive your car less- Walk, exercise, ride a bike, take a scooter, rent a flying carpet ...

 

If you drive your car less and acquire other means of transportation instead, I will love you and so will the many other children who are on their way here to vacation on me as we speak.

 

Many countries recommend repairing of leaking air condition of your car that adversely destroys the upper layer of ozone atmosphere. You must also be careful while filling your car with gas and see that it doesn't spill off the tank. You can also use motor oil that is energy-efficient.

 

3. Reduce the usage of your wooden stove

 

Wooden stoves tend to generate excess smoke into the air which is harmful to the health of your entire family. Instead you can cook food on energy efficient appliances that promise low cost and quick cooking too.

 

4. Maintain a healthy ecosystem

 

It is the need of an ecosystem to have good interaction with green plants, organisms, and animals in a healthy environment. These three helps to keep the entire ecosystem healthy and alive for many years together. It is due to excessive air pollution and global warming that the entire ecosystem is negatively affected today. With a little change in your daily lifestyle, you can definitely help to protect the entire planet with its ecosystem is a healthier way.

 

5. Reduce usage of chemicals and pesticides - go GREEN and clean with Green products.

 

It is always advisable to eliminate maximum household chemicals and pesticides that directly pollute the green environment. Instead, you can make your own solutions for cleaning purpose using distilled vinegar, lemon, and baking soda. There are many ‘green’ cleaning products available in the market which is environmentally friendly and conventional cleaners too.

 

6. Recycle the waste products

 

Many waste products like glass, plastics, aluminum, and paper can be recycled instead of been disposed off in the dustbin. This will prevent any air pollution accumulated on burning these products. You can also use reusable towels and reusable bags rather than use disposable plastics or bags.

 

7. Reduce carbon footprints

 

There are many ways to cut back carbon footprints causing excess air pollution. You can lower the temperature of your water heater, wash dishes manually instead of using a dishwasher, reduce the use of air conditioner or heater and buy energy efficient lights to lower the energy consumption and heat generation level.

 

8. Grow your food locally

 

Planting of the food locally helps in reducing the overall commercial transportation of food items that require pesticides and preservatives to preserve them. These preservatives directly pollute the air. It is also a proven fact that organic food is more sustainable that the one which is preserved using harmful pesticides and chemicals, thereby causing harm to the entire global ecosystem.

 

9. Reduce contaminants

 

It is always a better option to reduce the usage of contaminants and toxic materials at home. A healthy environment begins from your home. You must also take care to dispose of all the waste material in a proper way rather can simply disposing of them in the bins.

 

10. Avoid the pollution

 

Try not to throw away trash or waste materials almost anywhere in and around your house. You must try to dispose off biodegradable as well as non-biodegradable wastes in a proper way and avoid littering it all over your home environment. Any excess air or water pollution can negatively affect you and your familyâs health while destroying the entire environment globally.
