SAVE PETROL!!


Alright, this post is especially for those people who own or who drive vehicles. With the cost of automotive fuel increasing every month not only will we save our own money but also have a contribution in saving the environment. So lets begin with the tips:

1. Always drive in the proper gear.

2. While driving if on a relatively empty strech drive on the highest gear.{ Please don't make this an excuse to drive at unsafe speeds}

3. In most speedo-meters there are marking curves drawn to the left of the speed indicators. The one painted green is the one which will earn you the maximum average.

4. When stuck in a traffic jam or at a red light there are loads of fuel to be saved:a) Switch of the vehicle.b) If its too hot and the AC is on and you don't want to switch off the vehicle then only keep the blower on and switch off the AC button.c) If the traffic is inching forward don't follow them. Stay where you are. You burn the maximum fuel by inching forward.d) I no its irritating to sit there doing nothing and everyone tends to get fidgety,but don't keep pressing/turning the accelerator.

5. Choose a strech of road with less turns the slowing down and speeding up process is also costing us a lot.

6. When accelerating the vehicle switch off the AC button and only keep the blower on.

7. Find out which brand of fuel gives the maximum average to your vehicle and try your best to fill the same one.
I hope the readers follow atleast some of the tips given above and save their own money and save the environment.Thanks for reading. Hope you drive safely. Do visit this site again.
Thank You

SAVE WATER!!



Although petrol is costly and water comparitively cheaper(at most places) its more important to save water.Now i write a few tips to save some water.


Some are very common but few are new.Some common one's:


1. Don't leave the tap on while:a) brushingb) shavingc) bathing(preferably take a bucket bath over a shower)


2. Check all the taps and toilet flushes in your house to check if they are leaking and get them repaired if required.


3. Also check the water tanks and geysers for leakages and get them repaired.4. Leaking pipes can be repaired by simply using products like M-Seal Wet set and others. It costs only 5 rupees.


Now some new tips:


1. If you are washing your vehicle or getting it washed, get it cleaned/clean it using a damp cloth instead of using a lot of water everyday. It not only saves water but also saves your vehicle parts from rusting soon.


2. In places where water coolers are used do take care when they are being filled with water. Try to avoid water overflows.


3. Install a water level meter in the storage tanks of your house/housing society to avoid overflow.


4. In houses using RO water purifier systems almost two thirds of the water output is contaminated and hence not fit for use. This comes out through a separate output in all water purifier systems. Instead of throwing the water arrangement can be made to store the water and use it to clean the house, clean utensils. A direct connection can also be made to the toilet flush.


5. Report any water pipe/storage tank leaks in your neighbourhood to the local water board.
Lets all do our part to save this life sustaining substance. I'm sure we all will be benifited by it.
