＠１０１５，Blog Action Day！
ｍａｎ！部落格行動日耶～
不知道的自己去看看吧
有一篇文章在講５０件你能為地球做的事，其實跟An Inconvenient Truth的官網裡提到的其實都差不多（老實說官網做的比較漂亮
）
ˇ1.Take a shorter shower. （侯來我家看到我家的水桶很驚訝...拜託那可以省水好不好，等到水熱了我只要用水桶裡的水就好= =+）
If you take long showers, consider cutting it short by a few minutes. You’ll conserve water, and the electricity needed to heat up the water, lowering your utility bills and reducing your energy consumption at the same time.
ˇ2.Use a rag or hand towel instead of napkins or paper towels. （恩我們家會把擦過手的衛生紙放在陽台晾乾之後擦灰塵～天阿可是人類用的衛生紙真的很兇耶冏a）
Reusing items instead of using disposable items is almost always a better thing for the environment. Reduce the need to cut down trees, the power needed to turn them into napkins, and the space in the landfill once you throw them away.
ˇ3.Don’t print at least once today. （OKOK，我也很寶貝我們家的印表機XDD）
Instead of automatically hitting the “print” button, think of whether you really need a hardcopy of that document. Can you email it instead? File it on your computer instead of your file cabinet? Read it on the computer instead of on paper? You don’t have to eliminate printing entirely, but holding off on that “print” button once in awhile could greatly reduce your paper consumption.
ˇ4.Carpool once this week. （以後等我學會摩托車我就不敢保證了ˊˋ|||）
Have a friend or family member or co-worker who makes roughly the same commute as you? Try riding together at least once. It save on fuel consumption, cuts your fuel spending, reduces greenhouse emissions, and you can get a good conversation at the same time.
△5.Turn off the TV for an hour. （電視真的很好看對不起Orz...）
Reduce your energy consumption and get outside and play a sport. Or garden. Or just take a walk. You get healthy and enjoy the natural beauty of your surroundings.
ˇ6.Turn off the lights.（我們家都我在關燈= =）
If you leave a room, even for a little while, turn off the lights. You don’t need it, and it’s wasting energy.
7.Use a coffee mug instead of disposable. （雖然我不是喝咖啡但是我有帶自己水瓶～）
If you routinely use disposable cups at work or on the road, use a ceramic coffee cup or a travel mug, reducing the amount of trash you throw away.
△8.Use CFC light bulbs.（我還在查那是什麼= =ａ）
If your light bulb burns out, replace it with a Compact Flourescent bulb (those spiral-looking ones). They’re more expensive, but if you just replace them one at a time, it doesn’t cost much, and the energy savings is great. And as they last longer, over the long run, you’ll save money.
ˇ9.Skip the foil and plastic wrap.
Use reusable plastic food containers to store leftovers or other food in the fridge and cabinets, instead of disposable material.
△10.Inflate your tires.（如果等我有機會買車我還記得的話...那時候交通工具會不會已經在天空飛了阿...我是認真的= =）
Many people don’t realize that their tires are under-inflated. Check the recommended pressure for your tires, and fill them up to that pressure. It only takes a few minutes, but it will save you on fuel consumption (a little) and more importantly, make your tires last longer and reduce the rubber that’s worn off your tires.
ˇ11.Clean up.（這是一定要的！！！）
If you go to the beach or a park, leave it cleaner than when you got there. Pick up some cans and other trash that were there when you arrived. Takes a couple minutes, and makes the world a nicer place to live in.
ˇ12.Talk to your kids about the environment. （這個勾是為１０以後的我打的XDD）
Just a 5-minute conversation every now and then about fuel consumption, greenhouse emissions, wasting food and trash, energy consumption, preserving habitats … this can help educate your children about the issues that will be affecting them tomorrow. And an educated population will do more to help the environment than anything else.
ˇ13.Reuse printed paper. （其時印雙面真的比較好，但是大家在學校都只有印單面= =...）
If you have non-sensitive documents that have been printed out, but are no longer needed, try marking the printed side, and using the clean side for non-official printing. In fact, if you can get your office to do this, you’ll save tons of paper a year.
ˇ14.Turn down your water heater. （哈我家根本沒有XD）
Most people have their water heater’s thermostat turned up too high, wasting energy. Turn it down to 130 degrees, saving energy but still hot enough to kill bacteria.
△15.Plant a tree.（雖然是說＂真的想做會找到辦法＂，可是老實說真的叫我去買樹苗，然後找地方挖土...我還是會懶的做Orz...）
It really doesn’t take much time, and over time more trees in your community can make a difference. Do a few every year, and encourage others to do the same.
ˇ16.Hang out your clothes.（台灣應該還是都用曬的吧）
If it’s a nice sunny day, hanging clothes only takes a few minutes, and you’re using solar power instead of electricity to do the job. It also makes your clothes last longer.
X 17.Buy a manual reel mower or electric mower.（我們家沒有草坪我幹嘛買...）
If you’re looking for a new lawn mower, and you have a small yard, consider getting a manual one. They’re much advanced from the reel mowers of our grandparents’ generation, much quieter, cheaper, and they save on fuel and pollution. Electric mowers are also quieter and use much less energy.
△18.Get a low-flow shower head. （我不知道這什麼...）
Stop at the hardware store on your way home, and get a low-flow shower head. Takes a few minutes to install, and it’ll save gallons of water a day.
ˇ19.Lower your thermostats.（這點我不想講...）
If you use heating, get by with less heat and wear warmer clothes. If you use air-conditioning, get by with less cooling and wear cooler clothes.
△20.Participate or organize a clean-up.（話說6月應該要去清河川的...自己懶ˊˋ）
Sure, this’ll take a little more of your time, but if you don’t have much to do on the weekends, this can be tremendously fun and fulfilling. Clean up a beach, a street, a park, a lake or a river.
ˇ21.Avoid fast food.（恩，麥當當薯條真的很可怕，放了10個禮拜都不會壞...撇開好吃不講，為了健康真的要少吃！！！）
Instead, eat at home or at a sit-down restaurant. Fast food restaurants are one of the worst polluters of the environment, both in the massive amounts of beef they must raise, in the wasted packaging, and in the energy they use in so many ways. And they’re tremendously unhealthy.
△22.Use acryllic paint.（我不會畫畫耶XDD）
Oil-based paints are toxic and create a lot of pollution during manufacturing. Instead, if you’re going to buy paint, buy acryllic.
△23.Coat your roof.（我們家沒屋頂...）
This’ll take up an afternoon, but you only have to do it once every few years. And it’ll save you a lot of money and energy in heating and cooling over the long-term, more than making up for the cost of paint.
ˇ24.Clean your filters.（我爸會做XDDD）
Clean the filters of your air-conditioners once a month to improve energy efficiency. While you’re at it, change your car’s filters as recommended in your manual.
△25.Telecommute.（以後的趨勢應該也會這樣吧...）
I know, sounds great, where do I sign up? But if you talk to your employer about even a limited telecommuting schedule, you can save a lot of fuel and time, and be more productive at the same time. Just be sure to get a lot more done at home than you do at work to make your case for an expanded telecommuting schedule down the road.
ˇ26.Wash clothes in cold water. （洗衣機沒有熱水吧= =ａ）
Hot water is unnecessary for most clothes. When needed, use warm water.
ˇ27.Fill your toilet tank.（不是馬桶裡本來就會放嗎...）
Put a plastic bottle or two, filled with water and rocks, in your tank to reduce the amount of water used in each flush.
ˇ28.Buy recycled products.（我現在常常買的東西似乎只有合作社便當...據說有些餐盒不能回收冏）
As much as possible, get the recycled version of products you buy.
ˇ29.Recycle. （雖然不會像敘述的那樣可是在學校也都會做：D）
Sure, it’s a regular practice in some places, with curb-side pickup of recycled waste. But in other places, there’s no such thing. Instead, create a few containers for paper, plastic and aluminum waste in your home or office. When it’s full, drop it off at a local recycling center (look in your phone book) on your errands day.
ˇ30.Buy a smaller car.（我想開綠色ˇ黃色小噗噗）
You won’t be able to do this today, probably, but the next time you’re in the market for an automobile, get a smaller and energy-efficient car rather than a big, lumbering one. It’s one of the best things you can do to reduce your fuel consumption.
ˇ31.Buy a smaller home.（搞不好我根本沒錢買家= =.........好悽涼........................................）
The next time you’re home-shopping, instead of buying the McMansion, look for a smaller home that’s big enough to meet your needs comfortably. Reducing the amount of stuff you own is a good way to need less house. It’s cheaper, and requires less energy to heat and cool. And easier to clean at the same time.
ˇ32.Look for energy efficiency.（當然～）
When you’re looking to buy appliances, be sure to research the most energy-efficient ones. They may cost a little more, but they’ll more than make up for that in the long run with lower energy bills.
X33.Water grass early in the morning. （阿我們家就沒lawn啦...）
Reduces the amount of water you need to keep your grass looking fabulous.
△34.Plant shade trees near your house. （見no.15）
It’ll take awhile before they can make a difference, but shade trees greatly reduce the need to cool a home.
△35.Use rechargeable batteries. （真的有點貴...）
Instead of throwing your batteries away all the time, reuse rechargeable batteries. Costs a little more, but cheaper in the long run.
ˇ36.Buy used. （嗯嗯，蠻還愛逛二手店的～雖然還是不會買XDDD）
Instead of buying new clothing, furniture, cars, whatever, look to buy used instead. You can get them for cheaper, and still get quality — all the while reducing the need to produce more stuff.
ˇ37.Walk instead of drive. （我也不會開車...）
You don’t have to do this all the time, but walking the short trip to a store, or to lunch from work, or some other short trip like that, can reduce the amount of fuel you use over the long term, and you shed some fat at the same time. Or at least burn off that morning donut.
ˇ38.Unplug appliances.（這是常識吧...）
If you don’t use an appliance several times a day, it’s better to unplug it, as they often use energy even when turned off
△39.Unload your car.（這點我爸做不到= =）
Remove excess weight from your car (such as stuff that might be in the trunk) to reduce the amount of fuel you use.
△40.Try cycling.（我會嘗試著騎腳踏車到北車的＠＠）
Biking to work or around town can be a great way to get in some exercise and save fuel.
X41.Install a water filter.（我們家其實之前有買但是都沒用...）
If you buy a lot of bottled water, use your tap instead. Some places need a filter to make tap water taste drinkable, but they don’t cost much and they can save money, water, and plastic bottles over time.
ˇ42.Use cloth shopping bags.（後背包包是好物=ˇ=）
Don’t cost much, and can save a lot of paper or plastic.
ˇ43.Mend your stuff.（Torn clothing→floorcloth）
Try not to throw stuff away and buy new stuff if the old stuff can be fixed. Torn clothing? Takes a few minutes to sew up.
X44.Compost.（就沒lawn那種東西咩！！！）
It’s not hard to set one up (look it up online), and you can save a lot of waste from the landfill and help your garden at the same time.
ˇ45.Try mass transit.
Millions of people use it, and it saves tons of fuel. If you don’t already, give it a try.
ˇ46.Buy in bulk.
Reduces the need for packaging, and costs less.
△47.Buy durable.
Look for long-lasting, well-made products instead of cheap, disposable ones. Use less disposable plates, cups, utensils. Use cloth diapers instead of disposable.
ˇ48.Use your oven less.
The oven not only uses a lot of energy, it heats up your kitchen, requiring more cooling. Instead, use toaster ovens, crockpots, microwaves, and electric grills when you can. And when you do use your oven, open it less — you lose 25% of the heat every time you open the oven door. ［好驚訝＠＠］
△49.Join a local organization.
Just about every community has one or more environmental organizations. It’s not hard to sign up, and when you have the time, you can volunteer for things that will clean up your community and make it a nicer place to live.
ˇ50.Join Blog Action Day. （Here I am！）
By joining the rest of the blogging community in talking about the environment for one day (Oct. 15), you will be helping to raise environmental consciousness, with just one blog post. What can be easier than that?

第10項，輪胎氣足不足油耗真的有差，而且操控性也有差，一般維持在25~35psi就差不多了。and近幾十年內一般人還飛不上天啦！現在能飛上天的東西耗能都超高的＠＠
第15，雖然說多種樹是好事啦，但還是建議一般人不要在開放環境中隨便種，因為天曉得種下去的物種會不會壓迫到本地原生種...類似的慘案已經發生太多次了Orz。
第18，這似乎指的是類似有些洗手台會裝的省水噴頭，就是那種出水很少且打水都打散出來的那東西。是很省水沒錯啦，但在灌水桶時搶到這樣的水龍頭實在讓人不知道該說什麼 XD。
第30，最近看到Toyota在台灣引進混合動力車了！等了十年終於在台灣等到這東西XD。還滿看好這類車系的發展，最好把它跟TDI整合起來，至少在燃料電池普及前可以先擋個幾十年^^。
第35，其實充電電池不見得比較貴耶，算一算差不多三組鹼性電池的價格就高過一組鎳氫充電電池了，只是充電器真的貴到爆炸是實話啦！而且現在充電電池店容量越做越高，據說已經可以一顆抵兩顆傳統電池用了＠＠。
第47，我也想買到一個可以用幾十年都不會壞的東西呀，可是這年頭的產品越來越黑心... Orz
哈哈 ^^ （潛水去）
