Three ways to save the environment

Sorry for neglecting my blog for so long. Tests are coming and I had to study for them thus I do not have much time to blog.

Three ways to save the environment:

Shower instead of bathing. An average bath uses about 80 litres of water, whereas a shower uses between 30-50 litres depending on the type of shower and how long you shower for. In other words, taking a shower uses an average of 40-60% less water and energy than a standard bath!

Turn off the water when you are brushing your teeth. Brush your teeth first and then turn on the water to rinse. You can use a glass of water to rinse your mouth. You can save up to 8 gallons of water a day simply by turning off the tap while you brush your teeth in the morning and at night.

Turn off lights when you're not using them. If you are out for 15 minutes or more, you should turn off the lights. Leaving your lights on when no one is in the room is a huge waste of energy and money. You can even put little reminders around your switch plates to remind your family. A normal bulb will use 60 watts of energy an hour, meaning that you could conserve nearly 22,000 watts of energy per year by just switching off one bulb for one hour every day. That’s enough energy to power one month worth of evening TV viewing!
