My previous blog (from the top of my ballerinas) was born in one of the most difficult times of my life (when I was preparing the defense of the PhD). It started as a blog where he shared the small changes I was doing in my direction in day-to-day life to a more "green" since I made the conscious decision drip coffee maker to reduce my ecological footprint. As with my previous blogs, which were focused on specific topics, quickly got tired of only defined by one thing, like Rita, the crafter, or ecological or Rita Rita, busy scientist. I am a person with eclectic interests drip coffee maker and wanted a blog to reflect that. That other blog shared the many changes that experienced towards a greener life. Today I want to share with you the changes that have really cared. 1) Avoid using heaters / fans / air conditioning, drip coffee maker opening and closing the shutters of the windows drip coffee maker depending on the weather outside. That is, in the winter I leave the blinds open during drip coffee maker the day to get sun and heat, and summer closing them to prevent out the sun and so keep the house cool.
2) Recycle everything that is recyclable (paper, glass, metal, plastic). This is obvious, easy, and does not understand why there is not more people do it ... Recycling is only advantages! The glass and metal cans are 100% recyclable and can be recycled indefinitely. Recycling 1 ton of paper avoids killing 15 to 20 saves trees and 2000 liters of water. By recycling plastic saves up energy and raw materials (oil). drip coffee maker
3) Adhere to electronic billing. Yes, I hate accumulate paper ... And for what another paper and another envelope? Invoices in PDF format can be saved on your computer, where they occupy very little space and thus avoids the costs of paper and ink.
5) Use energy-saving lamps. Taking drip coffee maker 1 or 2, all home here lamps are compact fluorescent. Replacing incandescent bulbs with low lamps or very low consumption (fluorescent and LED) is one of the easiest measures to reduce power consumption and hence CO 2 emissions to the atmosphere.
9) Realising the full potential of public libraries. Now that donated dozens of books to the library, I enjoy it even more. In here library site is books, is magazines, CDs, DVDs, activities for the kids ... all free. So in addition to saving, not accumulate more books and CDs at home. And with delivery times, is the way it actually read / hear / see what I bring home. 10) Christmas and birthdays, gift family and friends with things made by me. Since I started to sew, is what I do, and it gives me much pleasure drip coffee maker to offer things made by me with love and affection, that impersonal things, manufactured in bulk. At the time, I joined the cause logo Buy Handmade, in which we committed to offer only products made by hand. 11) Or give other gifts minimalist, using fewer resources and avoid the accumulation of stuff at home. I spoke of this.
12) Do not turn on the light from the bathroom. During the day it is not necessary, because the bathroom has a window. At night, the light from the street lamps is sufficient to shower and use the toilet. Only kindle the light to treat the face, hair and teeth.
14) Use both sides of the sheets. I have a draft sheet tray, printed on one side, which can be used to print on the other or to take notes, to do lists, etc.
15) Reduce drip coffee maker the margins of Word documents to save paper. I do this for a long time, but started for aesthetic reasons. Usually use 2 cm margins on the sides, top and bottom, drip coffee maker but sometimes more I reduce to fit everything on one sheet.
16) Buy things second hand. About 2 years ago I started to buy mainly clothes drip coffee maker and books in used sales sites like Miau. Love, has also sold some things, and ran always drip coffee maker good. It makes me print any use things that have already been used by others, and I must say that one of my favorite dresses was bought 2nd hand.
19) Wake up in the morning with the sun and not with alarm clocks. This works well especially in the summer. Last year in October, before the change of time, I walked desperate because drip coffee maker at 7 am was still night and I did not wake up ... But I always did, since childhood, and sleep always with the fourth blind, not all open, but enough to get enough light in the morning. And as my room faces east and I have no buildings drip coffee maker to cover the sun, he is born evil, enters by me soon into the room. So awakening is much more natural. drip coffee maker Now I'm more disciplined and agreement usually at 6 am even still night.
21) Use the most of the sewing machine to do things for the home, clothing, arranj
