Traditional light bulbs VS CFL (Compact Fluorescent Lamps) https://youtu.be/DIB6_2g0WW0 Traditional light bulbs VS CFL (Compact Fluorescent Lamps): 1.Economic benefit. While CFL bulbs cost more at first, they are actually less expensive in the long run because they last longer than incandescent bulbs. And since they consume about 60% less than incandescent bulbs, they can help cut down a substantial amount from your bills. Once you switch to them, you will see a noticeable change in your expenses. 2. Efficiency. It is said that CFLs are up to 400% more efficient than incandescent bulbs. This means that you can replace your 100-Watt incandescent bulbs with 22-watt CFLs for the same amount of light, with less energy used. 3. Versatility. With the versatility of CFLs, you can use them in any setting that you would with incandescent bulbs. Also, they come in various sizes and shapes that they can be used for table lamps, recessed fixtures, ceiling lighting and track lighting. There are even 3-way CFLs that offer more versatility. 4. Impact on the environment. Switching to these lights will allow you to do your part in reducing carbon emissions, where just a single bulb is said to reduce half a ton of this gas in the atmosphere.

5 TIPS FOR MORE SUSTAINABLE GARDEN
5 TIPS FOR MORE SUSTAINABLE GARDEN Our ideas for your sustainable future! https://youtu.be/e55CrE4LKUo Soil Testing There are soil test kits on the market that are simple and easy to use which won’t break your budget. To get one, either head online or go to your local nursery. You’ll quickly find out if your soil has a high alkaline content or is too acidic. That way, you can add your fertilizer and compost to adjust your pH. Use Less Water Because water is restricted in areas where it is scarce, you need to plant a garden that requires less water in order to be sustainable. A method of landscaping and gardening called xeriscaping includes the use of drought-tolerant perennials and shrubs. You can also place a rain barrel at the base of your downspouts to collect rain to use in your garden. Cultivate Your Food Many people find satisfaction in growing their own delicious herbs, vegetables, and fruits. This is a major part of the lifestyle if you want to live in a sustainable manner. Plant with the seasons and plant intensively. Keep in mind that the hot temperatures of summer are too harsh for spring crops such as lettuce and greens. Once the lettuce and greens are done, use backspace to plant peppers, tomatoes, and other hot weather crops. Cool-weather crops can be sown again once autumn arrives. The same area of your garden can deliver three seasons’ worth of food. According to South West Greenhouses, the average family could save hundreds of dollars a year through methods like this. So, it’s not just green, it’s also budget-friendly. Compost Use When you compost your green waste, you are on your way to a sustainable garden that you’ll truly enjoy. By using a compost pile, you can turn dried leaves, deadheaded flowers, and grass clippings into nutrient-rich soil. Managing Weeds Planting small shrubs or ground covers will shade the soil from sunlight. This will reduce the growth of weeds. Mulching the ground with stones and wood chips also has a similar effect. Larger areas should be covered with black plastic sheets. Even though the weeds may germinate, they will eventually die because there is no sunlight. Covering with the plastic sheet for two weeks is enough to kill the weeds.

Urban green spaces and their benefits
Urban green spaces and their benefits In land-use planning, urban green space is open-space areas reserved for parks and other “green spaces”, including plant life, water features -also referred to as blue spaces- and other kinds of the natural environment. https://youtu.be/DG-dB-hEpUA WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF GREEN SPACES IN OUR CITIES? Mental health benefits Access to nature is essential for humans and has an impact on our mental health. According to numerous studies, it helps reduce stress and improves both concentrations and increases happiness. It is particularly beneficial for children and older people, although it is related to improved mental health in general. There is even an interesting line of investigation that relates violent behaviours with fewer green urban landscapes. Physical benefits Parks and gardens are an oasis in the middle of cities, extremely valuable resources for improving our health and physical condition. Studies in this regard confirm that long-term contact with nature is linked to longer lives. And it promotes healthy lifestyles and sport: enjoying sports activities in nature is even more beneficial. Hence the interest in enjoying sport outdoors, for example in calisthenic parks. Social benefits One only has to think of traffic jams, crowds and pollution to understand why green spaces generate so many social benefits. Among them, improved social relationships and a strengthened sense of community, as these can be developed in more pleasant surroundings for community living. Or how they favor environmental awareness, particularly among the younger population.

Natural resources and their Types
Natural resources and their Types Natural resources are the raw materials and sources of energy that we use. https://youtu.be/2iKBBJc2P2U Petrol, metals, soil, sand, wind, water and everything in between are natural resources. Manufactured items such as plastic, sheet metal, fabrics, microchips, electricity and concrete are not natural resources, but are most definitely derived from natural resources. Types of Natural Resources : Renewable Resources: Resources that can never run out or can replenish through natural processes after a finite interval of time are said to be renewable resources. Eg. forest, wind, water and solar energy. Renewable resources can replenish themselves at the same rate at which they are used however the rate of consumption of renewable resources must also be managed to avoid the depletion of the renewable resources. Non-Renewable Resources: These are finite resources or we can say that they are exhaustible resources, once they are exhausted, it will take them millions of years to form. Eg. Minerals, fossil fuels etc. All Uncategorized Traditional light bulbs VS CFL (Compact Fluorescent Lamps) Uncategorized Traditional light bulbs VS CFL (Compact Fluorescent Lamps) https://youtu.be/DIB6_2g0WW0 Traditional light bulbs VS CFL (Compact Fluorescent Lamps): 1.Economic benefit.
