You may want to ask how we save our energies. These are following steps of how we save it : 1. Computer- The average usage of computer by us a day is about 4-5hrs before this project. But now we use it only for 20-30mins , and instead of play computer games , we play outdoor games such as basketball and soccer. 2.Air - condition- We cut down our usage on air-condition from 7hrs to 45mins. Same , we switch it on for 45mins mins(only at night) and the rest in replaced by fan. We can do it so can you!

Base on our green home report, it is not so bad. We found that the 3 energy wastage are based on these items, 1.Computer, 2. Air-condition and lastly the Fan. So, for the first week(7-13/4/12), we tired to reduce from using all these items and we did continue it for the rest of the days, and when 21/4/12, we did calculate on My Carbon Foot Print, our averaged carbon foot had reduced to 4.67. We also did the waste separation and so on and so for.
