Efforts infiltration green bags on the roofs of buildings and structures are commonly known as roof gardens, green space or roof garden roof.

The existence of roof garden will add economic value for residential buildings which are equipped with a roof garden would feel more comfortable and visually beautiful. Benefits roof garden especially extensive in improving air quality and enhance environmental quality including:

Absorption of heat in the building is reduced by 10%. This means you can economize up to 60% of energy consumption used to cool the air. Temperatures in space can come down at least 1-2 celcius degrees, depending on the area of the roof garden.

The existence of the forage, especially the plants with leaf surface rough or jagged edges, especially potent to reduce noise for residents in the building.

Wall of a dark color will absorb heat between 70-90% of the total solar radiation that hit the area. Some of this heat would go into the house by way of conduction in the wall that would lead to heat inside the house. This would increase the energy needed to cool the room up to 20%.

The bright colors will reflect most of the rays and heat away from your home. The color is not necessarily white, but a green or blue color is good that is more bright color.

Wall with vines can also protect the wall from the heat by putting blocks sunlight and reflected it in advance. Select vines that is easy to care.

Even the smallest contribution will continue to conserve our energy and improve the environment.

1. Do not use plastic bags for shopping. Bring your own shopping bag that can always be used again. 2. Do not just throw away plastic bottle after [...]]]> That is one of the slogans of the trends that exist across the world. We can begin to reduce our plastic waste to not wear it but replace it.

1. Do not use plastic bags for shopping. Bring your own shopping bag that can always be used again.
2. Do not just throw away plastic bottle after drinking. Fill with water again and again, although not too many refill. Approximately 5 times disposable still okay. For the usual drink in the car, prepare a bottle is always fully charged.
3. It’s better to buy a drink bottles that can be refilled and do not always have to buy another bottle of mineral water.
4. In western countries many cafes like Starbucks have started to allow customers to bring their own mugs or better to fill a coffee Thermos. Plastic bags can still be used again. But if the plastic glass can only once.

Sometimes it is also difficult if not inserted with an incentive to the customer. Yet if we do not use plastic bags or plastic cup of cafe will also reduce their costs thereby increasing profits.

So in western countries have a lot of entrepreneurs who want to come help provide incentives such as supermarkets which offer a discount when not using their plastic bags such as Aldi or Albertsons. IKEA instead will force customers to pay for plastic bags. With this IKEA expects customers will reduce consumption of plastic bags which reach 70 million bags per year just for the United States.

Singapore began to assign a particular day as “Bring Your Own Bag” Day, where customers are required to bring their own pockets and who does not carry required to pay the 30 cents that will be used for environmental activities. Shopping bags that can be reused now a best seller in Singapore.

In fact we have to laugh at those who do not understand the importance of environment and lack of awareness to reduce waste. Now many shopping bags with unique and funky design as well so that young children do not feel inferior. Drink bottles also are getting cool so do not feel like a kindergartner who brought a bottle to drink.

Name [...]]]> Using nature source to clean the nature is the most appropriate method. When the territorial sea of a country is often marred by the tanker-oil tanker carrying crude oil from some countries to other countries, micro bacteria who live freely in the sea could be used to extract the oil at sea more quickly.

Name of the bio remediation process, which means eliminating pollutants by biological processes. Bio degradation is the decomposition process of oil at sea with biological materials, one with bacteria. Within three years study, it is discovered 182 new species and 53 genera in three areas of the sea territorial which became the main route of tankers, namely the Malacca Strait, Sunda Strait, and the Lombok Strait.

Instead of thinking about materials with chemical substances to clean the sea and ended up re-contaminate, it’s better utilize the wealth of marine bacteria. Fumiyoshi Okazaki, one of the researchers from Japan Nite, presents the research, titled “Diversity and Functional Analysis of Petroleum Hydrocarbon-Degrading Bacterial Communities in Coastal Zones of Indonesia.” The study centered on the Straits of Malacca and Lombok Straits mentions the role of Acinetobacter and Alcanivorax a very dominant role in bio degradation. Natural microbes that are responsible for remediation of oil. The population of bacteria are constantly working and levels of n-Alkanes in constantly also decreased after seven days incubation period.

Do you know that saving the use of paper means also saving water? So, what to do? It turned out to make a sheet of copier paper, at least require 400 ml of water, equivalent to alias 2 cups. And we all know that water is now a commodity which includes rare and should be saved as much as possible. But not only that, save the use of paper also means saving the forests in the world who increasingly been denuded. This is because the raw materials of the major paper-reaching 95 percent of the wood.

It may be hard to find relationships in data on the daily life of our home. Moreover, more awaits the use of paper associated with the activity in the office. For more details, see around our house. Newspapers, shopping receipts, credit card bills, brochures, packets of rice, until the tissue, can easily be found in the house.

Everything is a product of the paper, which often only end up in the trash. This shows that the amount of paper usage in many households and its impact can not be ignored.

We can not close our eyes and handed responsibility to the affairs of this paper offices. This is our responsibility too! Many fact that we can do at home to reduce paper consumption.

Maximum Use
Invitations using paper on both sides, should not be considered as a mere slogan. Seemingly easy way is still not practiced a lot of people. Begin to use the side of the paper is still no respond.

Papers that come into the house, such as invoices or leaflets, do not immediately discarded. Separate the paper can still be used in a special basket. Cut paper into small scraps of paper. Section beyond the empty can be used to record phone messages or shopping lists.

When opening an envelope, then don’t tear it up. That way, the envelope is still in a clean and tidy. Save this envelope to be used again. In this way, save paper jam, can also save money

For birthday? Usually we give someone a gift wrapped in pretty paper. The paper presents an unnecessary extravagance. Often, the paper specifically purchased for only torn out and thrown away. Try to create with wrapping paper of the existing materials in the house. Newspaper, magazines-colored, comic pages long, interesting gift wrapping made. Add decorative style that match natural to support the theme of “recycling”.

Newsprint is one of the largest contributors to the waste paper in the household in general. Before it sold to the junkman, use of newspaper for a variety of purposes. Maybe some already we apply at home, but it never hurts to remind again of how a newspaper can be useful. In addition to gift wrap, use newspaper as a protector when glassware stored or transmitted. Remember also the teachings of our grandmothers used, the cleaning of glass windows with newspapers. The fibers in newsprint can pave the glass surface and make it look translucent.

Variety of waste paper can be used various materials unique crafts. Encourage children to put their creativity by processing waste paper back in the house, one of which is to recycle paper. That way, they are taught early on to appreciate every piece of paper there.

Go Online!
Computers are finding that trust can reduce paper usage, because all documents will be stored in the form of files. At home, start getting used to life “without papers”; receiving and transmitting digital information through. For example, switch credit card bills and phone bills are sent by mail every month with the bills through electronic mail (email). That way we have come to reduce ‘the use of unnecessary paper.

Furthermore, the scan (scan) the documents still need to be considered, such as proof of payment to the bank, and save the file in the computer. If you already have a copy like this, the physical form of paper can be recycled. It’s not all documents can be scanned, for reasons of security and authenticity, such as birth certificates or letters of land ownership. But with reduced majority, our file cabinets to be more relieved!

Because we become more dependent on computers, computer consequences should be “maintained”. In that sense, the computer must be free from viruses that risk damaging the documents. Computers also be in top shape, with no problems on the hardware and software. In addition, “treatment” is making another routine back up, just in case if there is something that can destroy the document.

Back to the past
After struggling with the idea online, time to go back to the past practice to save paper. Right now we are used to clean everything with a tissue. Wiping the sweat from his face, we rely on the tissue. Drinks spilled, the water is absorbed by tissue. Hands wet from washing hands, dried with a tissue. And finally that clump clump tissue in the trash pile.

Tissue paper is a product of modern times. Disposable nature ensures that it is more hygienic. Considering the consumption of a very large napkin around the world, saving the use of tissue would have an impact big enough for saving paper.

If possible, use a fabric cloth back to the kitchen, the sink, and a front wiper. Fabrics can be washed and used repeatedly so as not to waste paper. Avoid also the use of beverage packaging and plastic plates in the house, even at a certain time like a party. Always select cutlery that can be reused. In addition, the paper utensils are generally made of plastic containing waste more difficult to recycle.

Lastly, always separate the waste paper with other debris. This is to facilitate the staff in the sorting of garbage, so this paper can be directly taken to the recycling place. At present, waste paper and its derivative products include the 25 percent of all garbage in garbage disposal. Help us in saving and sorting garbage.
