How green you are

Well, actually in home we are creating a culture of be green and friendly with the environment. My dad always talks about that and he worries all time for the pollution, green energy and sustainability.

Because of that, all my family knows about how we have to take care of the environment, my sister, brother and also my mom.

Now I will describe what we do to be environmentally friendly:

In my house we use low energy lamps, like energy-saving bulbs.  We also turn off appliances that we are using and change incandescent light bulbs with fluorescent bulbs because they save a lot of energy and produce less heat.

Also, I’m fanatic of the videogames, I always play with my xbox360 and the controls need battery, so for this we reduce battery consumption. In the case where they are necessary, choose rechargeable. The danger of the batteries is presented at the end of its useful life because it takes many years to disintegrate and metals mixed with the environment pollute the water and air. So, we think that is very important to use rechargeable batteries for my xbox 360.

In other way, we always use old clothes for cleaning rags. Reusing products not only serves the function of recycling, but also reduces the consumption and production, reducing the impact on the environment. So is not very strange to see old t-shirts of my brother or me black because of the garbage.
