Extended data

Low carbon tips:

When using the washing machine, in the same long washing cycle, the number of blade rotations in "soft" mode is more than that in "standard" mode, and the starting current of the motor is 5 to 7 times of the rated current, so "standard washing" is more energy-saving; If every driver pays attention to properly inflating tires in time, the energy efficiency of vehicles can be improved by 6%, and each vehicle can reduce 90 kilograms of carbon dioxide emissions every year;

When food is processed by microwave oven, it is best to add a layer of non-toxic plastic film or cover it, so that the moisture in the processed food is not easy to evaporate, the food tastes good and saves electricity. According to experts' statistics, every time 1 kwh of electricity is saved, 0.4 kg of standard coal is saved correspondingly, and at the same time, 0.272 kg of carbon dust, 0.997 kg of carbon dioxide, 0.03 kg of sulfur dioxide and 0.0 1.5 kg of nitrogen oxides are reduced.
