How I can save the environment with my computer?
I have really wanted to help the environment with my team and especially all at home. I'm just 14, so I really do not know how I can save the environment by buying groceries online and stuff like that so please do not tell me that.
• Information: Changing your sleep settings so the computer goes to sleep after a minute. Second, turn off the computer all nights. To use less energy, keeping the back light on low screen. • Kitchen: Make a compost pile out of banana peels, rotten fruit, etc. This compost on soils rich in nutrients. It also reduces waste in landfills. If you can, without spoiling your food, keep your refrigerator and freezer a little less cold. • Bathroom: Get a low-flow toilet, or is too expensive, put an empty milk carton or orange juice in the back under the lid of the toilet. This will cause the toilet to use less water when empty. Replace your old shower heads with low flow sink bosses as well. • Appliances: When buying a new appliance look for the Energy Star logo • Electronics: When buying a new TV, also look for the Energy Star logo Connect your TV, DVD player and cable box into an outlet and turn off the power strip every night. Even when a TV is off, but not connected to a power strip is off, still using energy. • Transportation: Try to carpool with friends to school.
