Be a moral person and remember the source of water - tap water

Don't make me cry for no reason (faucet)

Drops of affectionate tap water, please wipe away my tears Tears (please save water)

If humans do not save water and protect the environment from now on, the last drop of water humans will see will be their own tears.

Protect water resources and life will last forever.

70% of the human body is water. The water you pollute will pollute you sooner or later. Leave pure water to the next generation!

Saving water starts from a little bit.

Now, humans have water to drink when they are thirsty; what will happen when the earth is thirsty in the future?

Cherish the source of life and "close" every little thing.

Home Energy Saving and Environmental Protection Initiative

All families in various residential areas:

To date, various environmental protection and energy-saving policies and measures have become a familiar development trend of civilized life, but we have a real in-depth understanding of them. ? Do we really do this in our daily work and life? Is it still the case that you pay attention when listening, and then talk about it happily, but don’t pay attention when doing it? Energy conservation and environmental protection cannot be achieved by shouting a few more slogans. It requires us to truly improve and practice it in real life, starting from everything around us.

As every family, it plays an irreplaceable role in promoting social development and human progress, and is the main pillar of the development of our society. Therefore, we should improve the overall quality of the family, truly understand the practical significance and important role of energy conservation and environmental protection, organize each family member, hold them tightly together, and start to understand and improve all aspects of life, so as to integrate energy conservation and environmental protection. The theme is implemented.

To advocate energy conservation and environmental protection, we must first reduce and understand where energy is consumed in our daily lives? Where is the pollution? Focus on major issues and improve energy conservation and environmental protection efficiency. So which one is more serious, household pollution or social pollution?

Recent research shows that the pollution caused by social industrial production accounts for only 41% of the pollution sources, while the pollution caused by modern households accounts for 59%. Compared with society, although the family is only one cell of society, the harm of pollution in the family is relatively serious. Hundreds of toxic and harmful substances have been detected, and more than ten common ones. There is a set of statistics that can further confirm the harmfulness of household pollution: that is, a family produces an average of 1.8 kilograms of garbage a day, discarding five non-biodegradable plastic bags and two to three disposable lunch boxes; , washing clothes, etc., produce an average of 200 kilograms of wastewater a day; a family uses an average of 20 grams of chemicals every day. These pollutants and domestic wastewater flowing into rivers are polluting our land, rivers and oceans every moment.

According to media reports, in a survey on indoor pollution conditions among more than 2,000 household samples, the results showed that more than 50% of households have indoor pollution, and the "culprits" are household appliances.

What is even more worrying is that the vast majority of the families surveyed are not aware of the problem of household appliance pollution in their homes. At present, common pollution caused by home appliances in families includes bacterial pollution, radiation pollution, noise pollution, etc., which can endanger health and even human life.

Seeing this set of data can’t help but surprise us. We have always pointed the finger of pollution at industrial production, but we don’t know that the biggest source of pollution is ourselves, each of our families. We usually do not pay attention to the consequences of environmental protection and energy conservation. In the end, the most harmful thing is still ourselves, the beautiful home we rely on for survival, and our originally clean and peaceful global village.

Households also account for a large proportion of energy waste. Multiple TVs are turned on at the same time; multiple computers are used at the same time; the power is not cut off when the TV is not being watched and is in standby mode for a long time; several incandescent lamps with dozens or hundreds of watts are turned on at the same time; if the sensor of the voice-activated light is broken, the lamp will not last. The lights are on day and night; the water dispenser operates 24 hours a day; some electric heating households use several large electric stoves with several kilowatts in winter without blinking; they turn on the faucet and leave it running for several minutes, and then slowly wait until the hot water comes out. Washing...

Every little bit seems insignificant. But it is these bits and pieces that make the phenomenon of energy waste in residential areas quite prominent. Examine our behavior, commonplace "unconscious waste" wastes too much precious energy in family life. Habits become natural, and there are many waste phenomena that people have developed for a long time and are accustomed to, so they don’t think much about saving household energy. However, in real life, it is actually very simple for us to get rid of those inadvertent waste "habits" and only requires a little effort.

A good living and working environment is the condition for our survival as humans. To protect the environment is to protect ourselves. Facing the reality that the earth's ecological environment is deteriorating and resources are increasingly scarce, we should clearly realize that saving the earth, protecting the environment, and saving energy are our common responsibilities. Home energy conservation and environmental protection are closely related to our lives, and it is easy to carry out. Doing a good job in home energy conservation and environmental protection not only saves resources, but also saves a certain amount of expenses for the family, killing two birds with one stone. Therefore, we issue the following initiatives:

1. Starting from household electricity consumption, save every kilowatt hour of electricity and eliminate household appliance pollution.

Every family should strive to achieve the following points:

a. Change incandescent lamps to fourth-generation LED green light sources. Under the same brightness, the power consumption It is only one-tenth that of incandescent lamps, but its lifespan is 50 times that of incandescent lamps.

b. Choose chlorine-free green home appliances and solar home appliances, such as: use solar generators, solar cookers, solar lights, solar hats, solar flashlights, solar dryers, solar water heaters, and floor heating systems. etc., it is both energy-saving and environmentally friendly, safe and convenient. It not only contributes to the country's energy-saving and environmental protection work, but also enables families to lead a new trend of green living.

c. When purchasing an air conditioner, you should consider the number of units that best suits the size of the room. And the air conditioning temperature is set at 26-28℃ in summer.

d. The food stored in the refrigerator should not be overfilled. There should be a gap of more than 100mm between the food in the refrigerator and between the food and the box wall. This can save 20% of energy per day compared to sticking to the wall.

e. The power consumption of the washing machine depends on the length of use. Generally, synthetic fiber and wool fabrics are washed for 3 to 4 minutes, cotton and linen fabrics are washed for 6 to 8 minutes, and extremely dirty clothes are washed for 10 to 10 minutes. 12 minutes.

f. The TV should not be turned on very brightly, nor should the volume be too loud, because every additional 1 watt of audio power will increase the electrical power consumption by 3 to 4 watts.

g. When using a rice cooker, it is best to wash the rice in advance and use warm or hot water to cook. This can save 30% of electricity.

h. Unplug the rice cooker immediately after use. When the temperature inside the cooker drops below 70 degrees Celsius, it will automatically power on intermittently, which consumes electricity and shortens its service life.

i. As long as a layer of special energy-saving film is affixed to ordinary glass windows, the indoor temperature will drop by at least 3°C. If the sun is more intense, the temperature difference will be further widened and the energy-saving effect will be more obvious. According to reports, after using this energy-saving film, it can not only filter ultraviolet rays, save energy by 30%, but also have a service life of up to 20 years.

2. Mobilize the whole family to comprehensively strengthen the ideological understanding of environmental protection and energy conservation.

First of all, parents should set an example for their children.

Parents are their children's first teachers. Because children are highly malleable and imitative, every word and deed of parents can affect their children. Therefore, parents themselves must firmly establish the awareness of energy conservation and environmental protection, constantly improve their own quality, and consciously realize that "environmental protection and energy conservation start from me, starting from daily small things", penetrate energy conservation protection into all aspects of family life, and provide children with energy conservation and environmental protection. Set an example. Secondly, we should focus on cultivating children’s awareness of energy conservation and environmental protection. Parents can use weekends and holidays to take their children to some scenic spots to experience the beauty of the environment, and then take their children to some places with serious environmental pollution to let them witness scenes of garbage everywhere and sewage flowing across the river. Through this comparison, children can experience the dangers of environmental pollution firsthand. Finally, we must create a good energy-saving and environmentally friendly atmosphere for our children. In daily life, parents should put their environmental awareness into action so that their children can subconsciously form good environmental habits. For example, when shopping, you should pay attention to choosing pollution-free green products; start with yourself, do a good job in family hygiene, and strive to create a clean living environment. In this way, by educating children, on the one hand, parents' own awareness of energy conservation and environmental protection is strengthened, on the other hand, it is also a real reduction in family expenses, and it can also contribute to my country's energy conservation and environmental protection work, which can be said to be "unlimited benefits."

3. Save every drop of water in life and strive to reduce water pollution.

With rapid economic growth and increasing population, it has become a very urgent task to strive to alleviate the contradiction of insufficient resources, continuously improve the ecological environment, and achieve sustainable development. China is one of the 12 water-poor countries in the world. Its freshwater resources are less than 1/4 of the world's per capita water, so water conservation is urgent.

According to statistics, assuming that a city has a permanent population of 17 million and more than 6 million households, if each household saves 1 kilowatt hour of electricity per month, the city can save 60 million yuan a year. It is equivalent to the power generation of a small power plant; if each household saves 1 ton of water per month, the city can save 60 million tons of water a year, which is equivalent to the total domestic water consumption of a city with a population of 800,000 per year.

Always pay attention to saving water and preventing water pollution. You can start from the following aspects:

Promote the use of water-saving water valves and sanitary ware; close the faucet after using water, Don’t let water flow empty; check and repair faucets at any time to prevent dripping; promote multiple uses of water and reuse water; save water, use vegetable washing and rice washing water to flush toilets and water flowers; use phosphorus-free washing powder for washing clothes to reduce pollution; If you keep the rinsing water for the next batch of clothes, you can save 30-40 liters of water at a time; use detergents with caution, use soap as much as possible, and don't let the water source be polluted. We should always remind ourselves that protecting water sources means protecting life. !

4. Save every piece of paper, use recycled paper and save paper, and protect forest resources.

At present, the raw material for papermaking is mainly wood. my country's papermaking industry consumes 10 million cubic meters of wood annually. We use and consume a lot of paper, which is actually consuming forest resources. Now, on average, 4,000 square kilometers of forest disappear every year on the earth. Forests can provide oxygen to humans, absorb carbon dioxide, prevent climate change, conserve water sources, prevent wind and sand, and maintain ecological balance. To protect forests and reduce mining, we need to reduce the demand for wood. Recycling 1 ton of waste paper can produce 800 kilograms of recycled paper, which can save 17 trees, save more than half of the papermaking raw materials, and reduce water pollution by 35%. Each piece of waste paper can be recycled at least twice. Therefore, we should promote the active recycling of waste paper, try to use recycled paper and double-sided paper to give full play to the advantages of e-government, vigorously promote paperless office, try to use electronic media to modify manuscripts, and strive to reduce paper consumption. Saving paper is the best way to protect forests and the environment.

5. Save every liter of oil and reduce air pollution sources.

Reduce dependence on motor vehicles. Use bicycles or walk as much as possible to travel in short distances to reduce the burden on urban traffic; reduce the use of official cars and reduce the use of cars alone without affecting official duties and ensuring safety. vehicles; when emergency official activities really require the use of official vehicles, try to ride together as much as possible.

Let us all be bus riders and strive to be cyclists!

In addition, if you drive by yourself, you can master the following energy-saving and environmental protection skills: 1. If you use neutral gear when driving skillfully and coast, a 1.6-liter family car can save 10 liters of gasoline per month; 2. Don't release the clutch too quickly when starting, otherwise it will consume fuel and stall easily; 3. When increasing the speed, you should lightly accelerator; 4. When encountering a red light or the vehicle in front is braking, do not slam on the brakes only when you are approaching in high gear. ; 5. When the car is driving, pay attention to the water temperature gauge. The normal water temperature of the engine should be maintained between 80 degrees Celsius and 90 degrees Celsius. If it is too high or insufficient, it will increase fuel consumption; 6. Check the tire pressure frequently to keep it at In the best condition, insufficient tire pressure will increase fuel consumption; 7. Do not change the size of the tires at will. Choosing wider tires may make the car look more "sports car", but the wider the tires, the greater the wheel resistance and the fuel consumption. The more consumption there is; 8. Use the engine oil with the lowest viscosity. The lower the viscosity of the engine oil, the "effort-saving" the engine will be and the more fuel-efficient it will be; 9. Don't over-warm up. Some car owners like to warm up before driving in the morning before getting on the road, but warming up for too long will consume more fuel. You can first let the car drive slowly for one or two kilometers to achieve the warm-up effect; 10. Do not speed. For ordinary cars, 80 kilometers per hour is the most fuel-efficient speed. Statistics show that for every 1 kilometers per hour increase in speed, fuel consumption will increase by 0.5%. There are also some fuel-saving tips outside of driving: insufficient tire pressure will increase fuel consumption; try to use engine oil with low viscosity, which can also save fuel; make sure the windows and doors are closed when turning on the air conditioner; clean the dust isolation screen regularly. Save 30% electricity.

6. Every family should save every grain of food and develop a good habit of thrift.

"Who knows that every meal on the plate is hard work." When cooking at home, we should cook according to our ability. It is not about eating too much, but about having balanced nutrition. Overeating or overeating will affect the health of the human body. Extravagance and waste must be eliminated. Parents should set a good example for their children and train them from an early age. A good habit of thrift.

7. Use less disposable products to protect the global environment and ecological balance.

Modern life is filled with many disposable items: disposable tableware, disposable tablecloths, disposable diapers, disposable toothbrushes, disposable cameras... Disposable items bring short-term convenience to people, but they are They have brought disaster to the ecological environment; they have accelerated the depletion of the earth's resources and also brought environmental pollution to the earth. Using less disposable items, using more durable items, and reusing items multiple times should become a new social trend and a new lifestyle. To reduce the waste of resources and energy, we can get rid of the temptation of "disposable consumption". We can use rechargeable batteries instead of ordinary batteries; use handkerchiefs instead of paper towels; use porcelain cups and glass cups instead of paper cups; use cloth bags instead of plastic bags; use mechanical pencils Replaces wooden pencil. If you often go out for meals, you can bring a pair of chopsticks, a spoon, toothbrush, toothpaste, razor, shampoo, etc. with you to make your life environmentally friendly. When traveling as a family, you should bring various items with you to reduce the pollution and waste of disposable items. At the same time, we must also persuade friends around us to ingrain energy conservation and environmental protection into every home.

8. Bring your own shopping bags to reduce white pollution.

In our lives, plastic bags have become an indispensable thing. Whether in large or small supermarkets, vegetable markets, or street vendors, it seems to be a matter of course to provide customers with plastic bags. In contrast, some consumers rely too much on plastic bags when shopping. Those plastic bags that are thrown away after use not only cause a huge waste of resources, but also increase the amount of garbage dramatically. Most consumers take supermarket plastic bags home and use them as garbage bags, causing secondary pollution to the environment after being discarded. The white pollution caused by plastic bags has become the enemy of the urban environment.

The amount of plastic waste in our country is more than 1 million tons every year. If the average spread of each plastic bag is 0.6 square meters, then each person discards 240 square meters of plastic film every year. And the plastic bags used by some street vendors still have serious hygiene problems. Using less or no plastic bags should be the first thing we advocate for green living.

Household plastic bags are the focus of white pollution. Whether shopping in supermarkets or shopping on the street, plastic bags are indispensable. Therefore, every family should bring their own bamboo basket when going out to buy food, which is beautiful and environmentally friendly.

9. Pay attention to the small details of daily life.

1. When cooking, use less coal stoves and instead use liquefied gas. When cooking, don’t wait until the oil is so hot that it smokes before putting food in, so as to reduce air pollution as much as possible.

2. There are a variety of flowers and bonsais on the balcony at home. Clean the room frequently and dry the quilt frequently to keep the air in the home environment fresh and pleasant.

3. Reduce noise pollution and try to lower the volume when talking or recording.

4. Dispose of waste correctly, classify domestic waste, and discharge domestic water reasonably.

5. Protect wild animals and plants, do not eat wild animals, and protect ecological balance.

6. Advise family members, relatives and friends not to smoke, not to burn garbage at will, to maintain family health and maintain a clean environment.

7. Collect plastic bottles, waste paper, etc. and sell them to waste collection stations to reduce garbage emissions.

8. Pets kept at home should be well taken care of to prevent them from disturbing neighbors’ rest and causing fecal contamination, so as to maintain a harmonious living community and environment.

My dear friends, nationwide mobilization is the basis for building a resource-saving society. We long for a clean earth and a green, healthy and clean living space.

Let us actively respond to the content of the initiative, join hands, start from me, start from every family, start from bit by bit, protect the environment, save resources, be kind to the earth, let us We all consciously become advocates and practitioners of environmental protection and energy conservation, and make our due contributions to building a conservation-oriented society and realizing my country's green and sustainable development.
