You claim to have a strong environmental awareness: before each leave a room will turn off the waste separation and reduce the use of air conditioning, at least the summer or winter, respectively raising and lowering the temperature setting less use of private cars, try to take bus or train ...... However, you will still release the number of tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere each year. The reason is very simple, you almost every day to eat meat, drink milk, watching TV and using the computer ...... In modern society, everything we use every day have to go through the production, transportation and destruction, which undoubtedly have increased energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. Statistics show that only 54% of cars and heating carbon dioxide emissions, the remaining 46% comes from the direct or indirect emissions from people's daily lives.
Car: up to 2 million meters per year of carbon dioxide in cities big cars travel the release of two tons. Combustion engine per one liter of fuel carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere of 2.5 kg.
Body: about the release of 1140 grams of carbon dioxide per person per day through breathing.
Plants: Plants absorb carbon dioxide during the day, night release, so the net emissions of carbon dioxide the plants to zero. A medium-sized plant absorbs about 6 kg of carbon dioxide per year.
Computers: Use indirect emissions a year on average 10.5 kilograms of carbon dioxide.
Halogen bulb: indirect carbon dioxide emissions by an average 10.8 kilograms.
Heating: kerosene heating fuel a year as the amount of carbon dioxide emissions into the atmosphere of 2,400 kg. Carbon dioxide emissions from the use of natural gas for 1900 kg, electric heating is only 600 kg.
Washing machine: indirect carbon dioxide emissions by an average 7.75 kg.
Refrigerator: indirect carbon dioxide emissions by an average 6.3 kg.
TV: indirect carbon dioxide emissions by an average 1.7 kg.
Chicken: Chicken production of greenhouse gases emitted during the production of beef, four times the process.
Dairy: dairy products need to go through pasteurization disinfection, which requires within 15 seconds the milk is heated to 72 . If you choose high-temperature sterilization, you need to be heated to 140 , it takes longer.
Imported fruit: 1 aircraft transport tons of fruit, the flight mileage of 1 million km, carbon dioxide emissions of 3.2 tons.
Frozen foods: Although the production of grain, vegetables and fruits than meat production process less carbon dioxide emissions, but needs cleaned frozen food, heating, refrigeration and packaging process, which will result in carbon dioxide emissions.
Juice: Juice is rich in vitamins, but it is also the energy consumption of the "abyss" because from production to put on supermarket shelves all in the process of consuming energy.
Control energy consumption in daily life can be effectively avoided carbon dioxide emissions. Although global warming has become a worldwide problem, but everyone "from me" can prevent tons of greenhouse gases released into the atmosphere. If people in the summer the air temperature is maintained at between 24 ~ 26 , then electricity can save 5% to 10%, while the carbon dioxide gas released per family a year could be reduced by 300 kg. Using low power light bulbs can make each household harmful gas emissions by 400 kg.
