Besides,
research shows that the impact of climate change is worsening. 2016
was recently declared the hottest year ever. The same was
done for 2014 and 2015. Other impacts of climate change include the rapid
expansion of the Sahara desert, severe flooding and earthquakes and food
shortages.
At the
end, developing countries will be most affected by this phenomenon called
climate change. So, it is pertinent that you make efforts to make your
environment more eco-friendly.
A viable
and reliable tool to use is technology. The government cannot do it alone. You
can start by making your home eco-friendly. In line with this, we share tips to help you make your home eco-friendly.
Get rid of
incandescent light bulbs
Incandescent
light bulbs generate a lot of energy to produce light. Thus a lot of energy are
wasted. Why waste energy when you can use light saving bulbs? There are LED
bulbs that can help you preserve energy which you can use later.
Install
prepaid meter
The manual
meters are gradually being phased out in Nigeria. Beyond the fact that
electricity companies have refused to read the manual meters, it has allowed
Nigerians to use power indiscriminately. In some homes, they do not switch off
their light bulbs. This will never happen if they had a prepaid meter in their
homes. These meters will make Nigerians cautious of how they use energy.
Use Gas
instead of charcoal or stove
Gas is now
used in many homes today. But at the same time, charcoal and kerosene stoves
are still used especially in rural areas and in a number of homes in the city.
It is better to use gas because of it very clean.
Turn off
devices on the wall
Don’t
leave your TV and other appliances on because it is on standby mode. Turn it
off when you are not watching or using them. If you don’t know, you are wasting
energy by leaving it on.
Solar
panel
An environment-friendly way to
generate energy is via a solar panel. This alone should make it attractive but
it is quite costly. But if you can afford, you should get rid of your carbon
emitting generators and go the way of solar panels.
