how to save environment for in real life without simple day to day life trike? 

save environment

1.Saving money while drinking: the bottle is always there

Also on the way we want to drink a sip of water or a wake-up coffee. Just pack a refillable bottle or a thermo mug that you can fill with tap water or coffee on the way. This little extra handle to your own bottle requires a little rethinking, but as with many things, there will quickly be routine and you will not go out of the house without a bottle or mug.

Incidentally, bringing your own drinking container is a real win-win situation, because you not only avoid packaging waste through plastic bottles or coffee-to-go cups, but also save a few cents at many coffee shops if you have coffee in your own Fill cup.

2. Saving Tip: Never go shopping without a fabric bag

The good old jute bag is no longer a figurehead of the first eco-generation, but has become a popular hipster accessory. You probably also have more than one tote bag at home - just leave it at work, in the car or under the bicycle seat and at home near the key. So you'll never forget it when shopping and you do not need to buy a plastic bag.

By the way, small cloth bags (eg nature bag **) are also suitable for wrapping bread and rolls at the bakery. Thus, you also avoid baker's bags that end up in the trash after much too short use.

3. Alternative to plastic save environmental costs

Our seas have become huge garbage dumps - they float in plastic, which does not decompose, but only crushes and ends up in the stomachs of the sea creatures and later on our plate.

When shopping, we can consciously choose how much plastic and packaging we buy. For example, choose yoghurt, ketchup and mustard in the jar instead of the plastic wrap. If possible, go shopping at the weekly market or in unpacked shops. Even in the drugstore, there is often the choice between plastic and glass packaging. As a consumer, you are an important factor in product design in the industry with your purchasing decisions. So did e.g. The change from light bulb to LED bulb for consumers and the environment alike sense.

4. Deactivated standby mode saves power and money

This trick is almost an old hat, but in many homes still louder little red lights shine through the night. TV, DVD player or music system: Devices in standby mode consume electricity around the clock and thus contribute to about a tenth of the electricity bill. Who carefully makes all the red lights, which can save up to 120 euros a year.

5. Wash colder - and save money

Cold laundry = dirty laundry? That's not right: Because at 30 ° C, almost every wash is clean, just try it out. For heavily soiled laundry 60 ° C, temperatures above are usually unnecessary waste of energy. Prevent stubborn stains by hand instead of heating up the whole wash cycle. So you wash laundry sustainable.

Let's stay with the cold water and save energy: with cold water and soap, you clean your hands just as well as with warm water - and also save money. If you wash your hands five times a day and use four liters of cold rather than warm water, you can save up to € 75 a year in a three-person household.

6. Onion look instead of expensive sauna landscape

In autumn and winter we heat our apartments to have it cozy in the cold and gray seasons. One degree more or less often makes a big difference, because every room temperature in the room not only increases the cost of heating, but also consumes energy and causes a lot of CO2. The Federal Environment Agency therefore recommends 20 ° C for the living area, 18 ° C for the kitchen and 17 ° C for the bedroom.

So put on some heavy socks and warm yourself on the couch with a cozy blanket (or a partner), instead of turning the apartment into a sauna.

7. Borrow instead of buying new

If it is a new dress for a wedding or party, ask friends to see if they have something suitable for you. Because hand on heart: Many noble parts in the wardrobe are very rarely worn at all. Anyone borrowing clothes from each other often has new clothes - without spending any money.

Many household items and tools are also rarely in use and you can borrow them from friends - or borrow in one of the Germany-wide Leyhläden. In addition, there are numerous rental and exchange websites, apps and car-sharing platforms that make temporary ownership possible.

8. Avoid chemical cleaners

In many households there are a lot of different cleaning agents - one for every corner in the house. Aggressive chemical cleaners can be replaced inexpensively and environmentally friendly with simple home remedies such as vinegar, citric acid, soda and soda.

Essig or Essigessenz and citric acid are particularly suitable for decalcifying, but also for example all-purpose cleaner, softener and toilet cleaner you can make it. Soda can be used as a cleaning, rinsing and laundry detergent, it removes stains and cleans clogged drains. Dish soap, dry cleaners, oven cleaners, joint cleaners and much more can be replaced with soda.

9. Repair Cafés instead of buying new ones

The DVD player is broken? The vacuum cleaner does not want more? From the trash can and bought something new - it happens more often than that things are repaired. In Repair Cafés help seekers and technically and artisans gifted get together and repair broken irons, lampshades and wool sweaters. Because often only minor things are broken that could easily be repaired or replaced.

Look around, in many big cities there are several repair cafés - there are hundreds of such free repair shops in Germany.

10. Be open and inspire others

No one is born as an environmentalist and you can learn everyday. It is important that you stay open to new suggestions, food for thought and alternatives. Ultimately, such "green tips" not only protect the environment, but also change your own thinking about consumption habits, disposable mentality, the value of objects and wastefulness.

Inspire other people to make their everyday life greener and more sustainable without lecturing. Spending an afternoon together in the Repair Café or organizing a dress exchange party - living sustainably can be really fun.

7 Tips on how to save energy and protect the environment

 1: Reduce household power consumption
 2: Switching to renewable energies
 3: Smart lighting
 4: Correct heating
 5: Avoid garbage
 6: Short bike rides
 7: Regional and seasonal food

1: Reduce household power consumption

Careful use of water can save energy: take a shower instead of a bath and turn the faucet on only when you need it. Because unnecessary water consumption pollutes the environment, just like your wallet.
The next time you wash, it's best to let your laundry dry in the air, which will also create a pleasant indoor climate in the summer. Even electrical appliances are true power guzzlers: devices in stand-by mode should be switched off completely.

 2: Switching to renewable energies

By switching to green electricity, you can save the environment and make an important contribution to reducing CO2 emissions. Because: Electricity from 100% hydropower is a renewable resource and can be used again and again for power generation. The water remains clean and flows at any time of the day, which also ensures a high supply security. Electricity from photovoltaic systems or wind power plants are also environmentally friendly alternatives.

 3: Smart lighting

Energy saving lamps have a 10 to 20 times longer life compared to incandescent bulbs. Since they do not heat up and are filled with electrically conductive gas, they consume about 80 percent less energy. LED bulbs cut even better: they consume even less power and have a longer life (about 25,000 hours). With a smart-controlled lighting you can save additional energy - so the lamps can be regulated depending on the daylight.

4: Correct heating

Much of the energy demand can be attributed to heating. When building a house, you should therefore pay attention to the correct insulation and insulation of the windows.
Proper ventilation can also reduce energy consumption and protect the environment. Repeated air venting promotes efficient air exchange, while proven "tilting" cools walls and furniture to promote mildew.

With Smart Home solutions, the room temperature can be optimally regulated. If the room temperature is lowered by 1 degree, there is already an energy saving of 6%. We will tell you in the following article how you can further reduce your heating costs.

 5: Avoid garbage

Waste can not be completely avoided, of course, but with a few tricks it can be reduced. Avoid plastic packaging as much as possible. In some cities there is already the possibility to buy packaging-free. Bring your own containers and fill pasta, legumes, sweets or liquids like oil or detergent directly. Disposable products such as cups, cutlery, straws and plastic bottles also cause considerable damage to the environment. Stainless steel bottles are a good alternative. They are more environmentally friendly and partly equipped with a thermo function: In summer, the drinks stay cool and warm in winter.

Clothing and other items should be used as long as possible and repaired if necessary. Not only the production, but also the transport and the disposal consume energy. Because synthetic and mixed fibers can not be properly recycled and so creates more waste.

 6: Short bike rides

Also on the way you have the possibility to save energy. If you live in the city, you can take public transport. Not only is this more relaxed than driving, it also protects the environment. Especially in big cities, the public connection is usually very good and you get to your destination faster. If it has to be the car, Car-Sharing helps: In this way you also save on acquisition and maintenance costs.

Short distances can be covered by bike or on foot. Especially on land, an e-bike can be helpful - so longer distances can be covered and it is not so easy to sweat. In many cities there is also the possibility to rent e-scooters. The time in the fresh air can also be very invigorating for body & mind.

 7: Regional and seasonal food

When shopping, you should make sure that your products come from the region. The flow of fruit and vegetables consumes on average 48 times more fuel than regional products. There are a lot of weekly markets throughout Austria where you can support local farmers and shop seasonally. If you do not have a market nearby, there is also the possibility to order seasonal vegetables and fruit boxes directly to your home.
