Ways to conserve the environment by constructing green homes

Solar Roofing

also known as solar photovoltaic (PV)

captures the sun’s energy and converts into electric energy

used to run household

appliances and lightning

Benefit

substantially on costly bil ls

reduce your carbon

footprint in the process

Compact fluorescents

uses gas inside a glass tube which is charged with electricity until it

glows and gives off l ight

great for replacing standard home

l ight fittings

use about 75 to 80 per cent less electricity than an

equivalent traditional bulb

can last up to ten times longer available in a variety of

shapes, sizes, colours and ranges of colour rendering capacity

Ways to Conserve The Environment By Constructing Green Homes

Nowadays, there are a lot of natural disasters such as earthquake, tsunami, and flood

happened in the world. This is the earth giving warning to the humans that did not take care

of the environment. Humans begin to aware that our earth is very sick and we need to cure it.

Humans start to do recycle, reduce the use of plastic bag, plant more trees and do a lot of

effort to save the earth. Actually, all of us can save the earth start in our homes. We can

conserve the environment by constructing green homes. The ways to conserve the

environment by constructing green homes is installed a solar panel and replace incandescent

light bulbs with compact fluorescent light bulbs.

To save electricity, you just need to install a solar panel at your roof. Solar panel

electricity systems are also known as solar photovoltaic (PV). It captures the sun’s energy

using photovoltaic cells and converts the energy into electric energy, which can be used to

run household appliances and lightning. These cells do not need direct sunlight to work. They

still can generate some electricity on a cloudy day. Installing solar panels on your home will

benefit you in many ways. Not only can you save substantially on costly bills, you can also

reduce your carbon footprint in the process.

The other ways to conserve the environment by constructing green homes is replace

your incandescent light bulbs with compact fluorescent light bulbs. Compact fluorescent light

bulbs technology uses gas inside a glass tube which is charged with electricity until it glows

and gives off light. Compact fluorescent light bulbs are great for replacing standard home

light fittings. Compact fluorescent light bulbs use about 75 to 80 per cent less electricity than

an equivalent traditional bulb and can last up to ten times longer. They are available in a

variety of shapes, sizes, colours and ranges of colour rendering capacity.

In conclusion, there are many ways to conserve the environment by constructing

green homes. Some of the ways are installed a solar panel and replace incandescent light

bulbs with compact fluorescent light bulbs. Humans have big responsibilities to save the

environment because this is the place that we and our future progeny will be live in. It's time

we take steps to create environmental awareness and resort to simple means like these, to

save the environment.
