Listed non-environmental household habits in video
1 Use filter jug
The filter-jug is eco-friendly buying water in bottles, but at the same time, the cartridges need to be changed in it every 2-3 months (that is, to spend 4-6 pieces per year). The jug, too, over time comes into disrepair and is subject to replacement.
Ecologically, it will establish a water filtration system for the sink. Cartridges are subject to replacement once a year, and some manufacturers make them recycling.
This option is more convenient for small kitchens also by the fact that it practically does not take free space. The tap for drinking water is installed next to the usual, you can choose a special double-faucer mixer. And the system itself consists of three cartridges that are attached to the inner wall of the locker.
2 Throwing all the garbage into one bucket
Waste sorting has long ceased to be considered something extraordinary. In many cities of Russia there are containers of reception of raw materials for processing, and the process does not require much space. It is enough to use two capacities: to one tolay the non-processable garbage, and in another collect plastic, paper, glass and metal.
In the same IKEA, various types of containers for sorting garbage, which are convenient what is compactly placed next to each other.
3 Use Twin Mixers
Freshwater stocks on the planet are not infinite. Useful habits will help to use useful habits, for example, turn off the water during the cleaning of the teeth, wash the plates or socks. Make it is much more convenient with a single-loader mixer. It is easy to open and close even the back of the palm. With double mixers, everything is more complicated: you have to turn the valves with your entire hand, and customize the water temperature is much longer in time.
Single-leaf faucets will also help you save water consumption and, accordingly, reduce the amount of utility bills.
4 Purchase Functioning Products
Purchase of products of the future is convenient when it comes to breaks, sugars and other grocery products. But it is not at all profitable to buy large stocks of vegetables, fruits or dairy products. They quickly deteriorate, especially in the warm season. This causes harm to the environment (most of harmful greenhouse gases are on the organic garbage).
It is best to buy such a category of products in small batches as needed, and carefully follow their shelf life.
For dry bulk products, we recommend using sealed banks and sign the expiration date of the expiration date to use first of all those that are coming to an end.
5 Watch the remnants of foods in the food film
Often, the remnants of products wrap in the food film. So come with halves of fruits and vegetables, lettums of lettuce or cheese. Instead of the food film, which is difficult to pass on the processing, the remnants of products are better stored in small containers. They will save food products, and due to the same form save place in the refrigerator. In addition, they do not have to throw out each time after use, it is enough just to wash.
In addition to containers, the food film is replaced with wax napkins. They can be used an unlimited number of times. If the wax coating becomes crumble - apply a new layer of wax to the napkin, and it is again ready for use.
6 Lighting rooms in incandescent lamps
Resource savings are important not only in the question of fresh water, but also electricity. Instead of incandescent bulbs, use energy saving. They will not only save electricity, but will also serve much longer
Do not forget that it is possible to dispose of such lamps only in special reception items, as they contain hazardous substances.
