Low-carbon tips:

When using a washing machine, the same long washing cycle, "soft" mode than the "standard" mode impeller change the number of times, the motor start current is the rated current.

When using a washing machine, the "soft" mode has more impeller changes than the "standard" mode, and the motor starting current is 5 to 7 times the rated current, so the "standard wash" is more energy-efficient; if every car driver pays attention to properly inflating the tires in time, the energy efficiency of the vehicle can be increased by 6%, and each vehicle can reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 90 kg per year;

When using a microwave oven to process food, it is best to add a layer of non-toxic plastic film or a Add a layer of non-toxic plastic film or cover the lid, so that the processed food water is not easy to evaporate, the food taste good and save electricity; according to expert statistics: each save 1 degree (kWh) electricity, corresponding to the saving of 0.4 kg of standard coal, while reducing the pollution emissions of 0.272 kg of carbon dioxide, carbon dust, 0.997 kg of carbon dioxide, 0.03 kg of sulfur dioxide, 0.015 kg of nitrogen oxides.
