Hello everybody
I offer a summary of all the possibilities of ecologies, savings and other ideas related to these concerns.
I think, who says economy says ecology because if we think about it a little; everything that is expensive "on a daily basis" is expensive in terms of the environment (poor insulation = full heating = gas that burns)
Water savings:
rainwater recovery
outhouse
shower rather than bath ...
Electricity savings:
Portable (30watts) rather than large PC (200 watts on average)
Low consumption bulbs
insulation (electric heating)
devices in standby to "turn off"
food outside in winter rather than in the fridge (and unplugging the fridge of course, already being a student, it's great).
tumble dry outside rather than tumble dry
Heating savings:
isolation
geothermal
solar
wood
sweater ?!
Gas savings:
use the microwave rather than the gas stove for your coffee (see ...)
wash hands with cold water
heating / insulation / etc ...
Fuel savings:
pantone
magnets
Along with
hydrogen
water enrichment
Savings in materials:
house made of recycled materials
recycled paper
Tips and tricks éconologiques bulk water, energy ...

little question
Veolia is pouring money with the money earned during the recycling of our waste, to see the appetite of these companies that take the juicy recycling markets, I wonder; because the removal taxes do not decrease, on the contrary

for our children, let them cleaner air and land without waste
Indeed, moreover to make several km to swing its bottles, newspapers, etc, ditto for the trucks which survey the cities and villages several times per week rather than in only once as before; it seems average.
In addition it gave the job of sorting, forcing, paying people it costs money ...
This is paradoxical

Come on, I clutch:
Water savings:
rainwater recovery
brick in flush
outhouse
shower rather than bath ...
abandoning the dishwasher
Electricity savings:
Portable (30watts) rather than large PC (200 watts on average)
power management of large PCs
Low energy light bulbs, fluorescent tubes placed lower and with a reflector, localized lighting
rigorous management of the extinction of stores at 22 p.m. and of retailers
insulation and programming (electric heating)
Automatic timed lighting in certain rooms
devices in standby to "turn off"
tumble dry outside rather than tumble dry
rigorous management of lighting in offices: why do we leave them lit until very late when the cleaning team only comes there for 1/2 hour
modification of corridor lighting
better management and distribution of public lighting (I speak for Belgian motorways, we are getting there)
energy recovery from refrigerators in supermarkets,
confinement of the fridge area (Colruyt already does this in Belgium)
watch less bullshit on TV and make love more often
Heating savings:
electronic management - programming
remote management of heating in public and industrial buildings
modernization of installations: high efficiency boilers
elimination of corridor heating (by really modifying the installations)
auxiliary electric heating in the bathroom in 1/2 season in the bathroom
electric auxiliary heating when you are alone in the office during the day
insulation - lowering of ceilings
optimizing the choice of your home (type + location)
geothermal
solar
wood (is it really a solution? It saves oil but still generates C02)
sweater ?!
an airlock in stores
Gas savings:
use the microwave rather than the gas stove for your coffee (see ...)
wash hands with cold water
heating / insulation / etc ...
Fuel savings:
better management of trips: reservations, shopping list, telephone, internet, 4 X 9-hour week, change of suppliers, rationalization of tours, take out sandwiches
leave earlier, stay later, so drive slower and spend less time in traffic jams
send the kids to school by bus (I speak for Belgians!)
use of feet, bicycle, public transport
carpooling
change vehicle
put the airco less strong (23 ° in summer, that's good, 18 ° we catch colds)
pantone
magnets
Along with
hydrogen
water enrichment
wind turbines
Savings in materials:
choice of solid items
house made of recycled materials
recycled paper, installation of a failed photocopy box near the photocopier
frequent use of the container park
diligent waste sorting practice
I removed your:
which I classify in dubious, unreliable and impractical practices, I only practice it for white wine, beer and lemonades when I receive. Anyway, the energy from your food is recovered in the kitchen and you lose energy when you open your door or your window
good i stop for today. Whose ball?

A thing with two balls which saves water the time to soap.
I use it for a long time it is very practical ...
For those who have the gear and not too scrupulous on the decor side, a simple small 1/4 turn valve does the trick.
Uh ... I do not see too much interest compared to the simple closing of the tap of the shower ...

the shower stop is interesting if you have globe valves.
You no longer need it when you have a ceramic mixer, possibly thermostatic
using a mixer effectively saves water, heat and time.
go hop, on the list!
