Do These for Our Earth!

Small Acts for the better earth!

  • Stop smoking! Smoking makes a pollution in the air.
  • Don't leave computer, sound system or TV stand-by, cause they still consume electric power.
  • Arrange the radio volume, TV, etc. Louder volume means it needs bigger electric power.
  • Use wash machine only if you will wash a lot of clothes.
  • Switch off the computer monitor if you have a break.
  • Arrange the AC temperature. Colder temperature means it needs bigger electric power.
  • Switch on water heater machine for take a bath a few minutes before using, then switch off immediatelly if you don't use it anymore.
  • Clean the vacuum cleaner filter. Clogged flter cause the machine works havier, so it needs more elctric power.
  • Use an economical lamp of energy. It needs less 80% energy and it lives more longer than another ordinary lamp. It's more expensive, but it doesn't need a big electric power.
  • Buy electric machine which is economical of energy as you can buy.
  • Don't waste any papers! Use the two sides of paper and use the blank space of former papers. Paper raw material is very worth to be wasted.
  • Use water pump to fill place of collecting water, not for using it directly.
  • Don't leave water faucet open. Clean water is very worth and scarce resource.
  • Leave your motor vehicles at home if you don't have a long distance trip. Because it's an extravagance of fuel and they generate a lot of pollution especially car. Use public transportation if you have a long distance trip.
  • Don't use anything that spread CFCs(Sparys, parfume in aerosol dispenser, etc)! That destroy ozone layer.
  • You should don't use car's AC, because the car uses more fuel.
  • Use your bike or just walk if you have short distance trip. Besides it saves motor energy, it's also an exercise for you.
  • Plant any plants and don't destroy other plants.
  • Throw the garbage to the garbage basket!

Do These for Our Earth! (Indonesian)

Tindakan kecil untuk bumi yang lebih baik!

  • Jangan merokok! Merokok menimbulkan polusi udara.
  • Jangan meninggalkan komputer, sound system atau TV dalam keadaan stand-by, karena berarti mereka masih mengkonsumsi listrik.
  • Atur volume suara radio, TV, dll. Semakin keras volumenya, makin besar energi listrik yang butuhkan.
  • Gunakan mesin cuci hanya apabila cucian banyak.
  • Matikan layar komputer apabila sedang beristirahat.
  • Atur suhu AC sesuai kebutuhan, makin dingin suhunya, makin banyak listrik yang diperlukan.
  • Bersihkan saringan penghisap debu. Saringan yang tersumbat menyebabkan motor bekerja lebih berat sehingga menggunakan lebih banyak listrik. Gunakan lampu hemat energi.
  • Lampu ini menggunakan energi 80% lebih sedikit dan berumur sampai 10 kali lipat dibandingkan lampu biasa. Harganya memang lebih mahal, tetapi dapat menghemat biaya listrik.
  • Beli perangkat elektrik dengan model yang paling hemat energi yang mampu dibeli.
  • Hemat kertas! dengan mencetak di kudu sisinya dan gunakan kembali bagian kosong kertas bekas. Bahan baku kertas sangatlah berharga untuk disia-siakan
  • Gunakan pompa air untuk mengisi tempat penampungan air, bukan untuk menyalurkan air.
  • Jangan meninggalkan keran air yang terbuka. Air bersih merupakan sumber daya yang sangat langka dan berharga.
  • Tinggalkan kendaraan bermotor di rumah apabila melakukan perjalanan yang tidak terlalu jauh. Karena bahan bakar mobil merupakan pemborosan besar dan menimbulkan polusi. Gunakan kendaraan umum untuk perjalanan yang jauh.
  • Jangan gunakan apapun yang menyebarkan CFC(berbagai spray, parfum dalam kaleng semprot dll.)! Itu merusak lapisan ozon.
  • Sebaiknya tidak menggunakan AC mobil, karena merupakan pemborosan bensin.
  • Gunakan sepeda/jalan kaki untuk perjalanan pendek, selain hemat energi, juga untuk olahraga.
  • Tanamlah tanaman dan jangan merusak tanaman yang sudah ada.
  • Buang sampah pada tempatnya!
