Good afternoon, my friends,

Today I'm going to tell you how to save energy, especially in our kitchen. As we know, in our modern life, the kitchen is a place where we use much of the energy such as electricity, gas, and water. To reduce this amount of this energy, we should:

- turn off the lights, fans, and faucets when not necessary.

- get all the food ready before turning on the stove.

- keep the refrigerator door closed.

- check the water pipes regularly.

If you follow these simple rules, not only will you save money, but natural resources as well.

 

Buy in bulk. Bulk products usually have less packaging and wrapping, and you also save money by buying bulk. Packaging makes up 30 percent of the weight and 50 percent of trash by volume for most products. Look for bulk items made of recycled content, especially for products such as toilet paper, tissues and napkins. Be aware of double packaging, even for bulk items. Some “bulk packages” are individually packaged items that are packaged again and sold as “bulk.” Shop for durable products. Look for items that will last for years, rather than disposable or cheaply made products. This could mean going for a more expensive clothing item, rather than fast fashion items that will fall apart in a few weeks. Skip disposable razors, a big waste culprit, and invest in a reusable shaving razor. Go for rechargeable batteries, or plug-in appliances, and reusable items. Avoid buying individually packaged items, such as candies, chocolate bars or even to-go snacks. The amount of waste these products create outweighs their convenience. Try not to shop spontaneously for items you may not need. Before you buy an item, consider how often you will use it and how long it will last. Investing in quality products means less waste and less trips to the store. Look for items at second-hand stores. One person’s waste could be someone else’s treasure. Second-hand stores are a great way to purchase household items free of packaging or wrapping. You can also find great used and unused items (especially clothing) at a low cost to you and the environment. Look in your closet for clothing you haven’t worn in the last year. Rather than throw the clothes away, donate them to second-hand stores or thrift stores.You could also throw a clothing swap party with friends to encourage some friendly barter and trade for used goods.
