Starting from your home!

- The easy thing you can do is to save energy in your home. Such as electricity, water, and reduce waste disposal that not important. Use energy efficient electronic equipment, ranging from light to the device that usually takes considerable resources.

- Notice the “Energy Star” each time you want to buy electronic equipment. This sign means that the product has passed the international standard for energy savings. In addition to electronic products, products such as toilets, water taps, and shower heads should also have a system of setting the amount of water used.

- Maximize natural lighting. Use bright colors for the walls, use glass tiles in the ceiling, maximize light through the window.

- Use of solar water heaters. Although more expensive, in the long run this will save your electricity bill. Even now existing street lights with solar power.

- For those of you who already have the old device, may be objected to buy energy efficient products because the amount of money that must be removed. However, if you think about the long term, the initial high cost would not be in vain. Because you can save on your monthly electric bill and save the environment.

Environment around your home

After saving, it’s time to begin looking at the environment around your home.

1. Making the yard and around the green house full of plants, ornamental plants can be, fruit trees or other plants just for conditioning.

2. Conduct waste management, in addition to protect the environment to stay clean, wet waste can also be collected for composting in barrels / pit simple processing.

3. Use secondhand goods to decorate your home. For example the rest of tile or some glassware you can use to decorate your garden walls or exterior of your home.

4. Keep rain falling around our house is not wasted but it can soak into the ground through the hole absorption can be made around the house, and can be combined with the compost.

5. Another important thing is to reduce the use of chemicals in your home. If you want to build a new house, many non-chemical products that can you choose and use them.

There are also many kinds of the go green program. Some of the programs include the cycling campaign and reducing using private vehicle such as cars or motorbike. It is encouraged to use public transportation as a priority. Then, it is also available a program like planting a tree in a daily basis which is meant to encourage people to know the important function of trees and to revitalize the balance of nature.

Studies show that being able to see your electricity usage in near real time, throughout the day, makes it easier to reduce it and save money. This sort of feedback requires either an advanced electricity meter, a “smart meter,” or a consumer-owned electricity management device, and many of today’s smart meters don’t display information to the consumer. Consumers should have access to data on their personal electricity use, control who gets to see this data and choose from a range of services to help them understand and benefit from this data. We’re working with federal and state governments to ensure our energy policies encourage consumer information; read our comments to the Department of Energy on smart grid investment in the stimulus, Edward Lu’s testimony to the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, and our comments to the California Public Utilities Commission and our joint statement with leading companies and NGOs. We hope that consumers will soon be empowered with an entire ecosystem of energy information products and services.
