Electrical Appliances in our family

With the development of society, people`s life is becoming more and more automated and electrified. The household appliances are also becoming more and more diverse and multi-functional. Televisions, refrigerators, air conditions, washers/ dryers, computers, etc.take hold over almost every family, and they are part and parcel of our lives.

However, while these electric appliance makes our daily life much more convenient and comfortable, they are also brings negative effects to us．For example, Freon which is used in fridges and air conditions may cause the ozone hole; overuse of appliances may lead to electricity in short supply. What`s more, over-depending on these stuff makes people more lazy and lose many skills and abilities which we had before. Therefore I recommend that in some situation we could control our use of these appliances to reduce the use of electricity and at the meanwhile protect our environment.


There are several things we could do at home to achieve that goal:

-Air dry. Let your hair and clothes dry naturally instead of using a electrical machine.
-Avoid pre-heating the oven. Unless you need a precise baking temperature, start heating your food right when you turn on the oven. 
-Reduce the use of air condition. According to doctors` recommend, keeping staying in a room with air condition could cause many diseases. So using natural ventilation instead would be great.
-Don`t rinse. If you use a dishwasher, stop rinsing your plates before you run the machine.
-Solar energy. If possible, install solar panels in your house which could also reduce your electricity bill.-Keep the light off when you don`t use it.
-Reducing the time wasted on TV, go out and have some fun and communication with your friends instead. It would be wonderful for your health and social circle.

people needs other

Based on my own experience, some electrical appliances provide advantages to our life, but on the other way, some ones make our life more sealed and lazy. Let us use appliances in a more smart and sustainable way, and remember that no matter how powerful the machine is, it can replace the position of other people in our life, which means people are social animals and we can`t live only with machines and without others.

give others a hug

From now on reducing using the electrical machines and give a hug to the nature and others!
