Going green is increasingly popular as a way to reduce energy consumption, conserve water and recycle and reuse materials to avoid overloading landfill sites. Not everyone has adopted a greener lifestyle, and some people seem to have rejected outright the green life. I think this attitude peculiar, as greener life is also a way of saving money. However, if you're one of those people who prefer not to live greener, then this article is for you.
Here are five tips on how not to go green.
1) Keep the burning of incandescent. They are only about 5% efficiency in creating lights, releasing the 95% of the energy they consume as heat.Incandescents also will heat your home more in the summer, forcing you to use more air conditioning, but no matter; you're not interested in saving energy throughout the case. There's no reason for you to consider installing compact fluorescent bulbs (CFLs), even if they last longer and use 75% less electricity than incandescent bulbs.
2) drink lots of bottled water.After all, bottled water costs just about 100 times more than the water of your faucet. then there's the matter of all plastic bottles. About 85% of them aren't recycled according to the EPA, so why should you bother. Just throw them in the trash and they will go to landfill with all your trash.
3) Take baths and showers extra-long cord. A typical bathtub takes 40-70 litres to fill, and all this water has to be heated. Even though a shower of 8 to 10 minutes would use only about 15-20 litres, that saving water and energy to heat water. If you decide to opt for a shower, just stay there under the hot water flow and have some fun. Perhaps you can work in your corner, while you are stopped there.
4) fall asleep with the television in. You don't need a timer for this.Just let the TV to function, even if you're not awake to see it.Background noise can still help you get to sleep.
5) Keep this old bathroom. don't consider even replace it with a low flush model.Your old template default probably use 3 to 4 litres of freshwater with each flush, compared to one of these new health, which requires only 1.6 litres per flush. This is an extra amount of clean water out equal to about two thousand litres per WC annually.You will pay more in your water bill per month, but that's part of the cost of not going green.
