All of us
spend a large part of our lives at home—eating, sleeping, relaxing and communicating
with our family members. Our home is a shelter for us, away from the noisy, busy,
and polluted world outside—a place where we can let down our hair and dress
casually. Eco-friendliness(环保) is a hot word today and we all know we should make our environment
as eco-friendly as possible. This is not only good for our health, but also
good for the outward environment. Here are some easy and helpful tips to make
your home eco-friendly.
Kitchen
Plan the
kitchen to be bright and airy so that you don't have to turn on the lights at
daytime. Don't make wasteful use of the gas. Keep all ingredients for cooking
ready before lighting the gas. Turn it to low when not required—always using it
on "high" burns a lot of gas.
Indoor plants
Plants are
extremely eco-friendly and can be used to make your home look lively. Apart
from adding life to home, they give out O2, thus making the air
inside fresh. You can keep plants in your home, but be sure to show them some
sunlight regularly. Also, if they are kept outside, clean their leaves with a
wet cloth, as dust may be added to them. A home decorated(装饰) with plants looks attractive. Plants are
natural home decorative gifts that show concern about the environment. A green
plant is a wonderful gift which will protect the earth and is sure to be
appreciated.
Saving water
Most of
the time, we take water for granted—we keep water running while brushing
our teeth or washing clothes. Needless to say, this is a huge waste of natural
resources(资源). Try to
recycle water. For example, the water used for washing vegetables can be used
for watering plants; the soapy water used for washing clothes can be used to
clean the bathroom and kitchen.
