While it is possible, keep one light on at one time. Do not leave light, TV and radio on when leaving the house for more than 30 minutes. Use the small on desk oven if you do not have large amounts of food to roast or bake.
Two. Save water.
Limit shower time. Do not take bubble bath. Use basin or other container to catch grey water. Use grey water for toilet flushing. It is not necessary to flush toilet after just one urinating, especially during night. Flush it in the morning.
Keep used water from the kitchen sink in a bucket for watering plants.
Use washer and dryer only when there is a reasonable load to wash. Use solar energy for drying as much as possible.
Do not let water run when brushing teeth.
Do not rinse dishes with excessive water.
Three. Protection of the house
Keep all the floor space dry, even in the bathroom and the kitchen. Wipe any water spill immediately after using the area. When mopping the floor, rid the mop with excessive water and do not let water dripping.
Do not use abrasive material against the floor. Clean the floor of any nails and sharp and hard stuff that may give scratches to the floor. Do not drag furniture over the floor. Use some soft material under the furniture, such as rug or used carpet.
Turn off stove, oven, microwave and water faucets before leaving the house.
Do not apply fire outside on the dry grass. Be very watchful when doing BBQ.
Be careful with widow opening and closing.
Four. Security
Lock windows and the house door when leaving the house for errands and work. Secure your valuables, including computer and data storage devices, from theft in case there should be a house burglary.作者: 程宝林 时间: 2012-2-22 12:03 英文程度有限者，如我之辈，看不懂这些“约法多章”，就只好打退堂鼓了。作者: thesunlover 时间: 2012-2-22 13:28 很环保。除去用水部分有些过份，其它都合理。我消费水比较潇洒，这样苛刻受不了。
