Tips to go green

  • A typical family can save up to 68,000 liters of water per year if you do not let water run continuously when washing dishes, when using water for personal hygiene or when the car wash. Hand dishwashing requires 37% less water than if made with dishwasher.
  • If a typical family would recycle all glass containers used for one year, the energy saved could power their television about 100 hours.
  • An estimated 4.5 trillion cigarette butts each year end up in nature.
  • Recycled aluminum foil is used to make parts for new cars.
  • In heavy traffic, the pollution is 2-3 times higher inside the car than outside.
  • A PC monitor left on all night uses enough electricity to laser print 800 A4 pages. 25% of the population uses 80% of the electricity available.
  • Plastic bags and other waste from the same material, thrown into the ocean, killing 1 million copies of aquatic species each year. 3.500 garbage cans are thrown away every minute in Europe. (ANDREI BARA)
