How Could Someone Do Scat

economy guide: basics of home economics

Recently I happened are a few things, common to most of the Italians, who have given me to think ... between bills and expenses necessary for everyday life, from clothes to food, you often wonder
"but how do I reduce the outflow"
? Surfing the Internet are different ways to

millemila

extricate at least in part out of trouble: some are the typical grandmother

councils, others are great solutions which you would not never thought of. Some people wrote to us whole

portals, those who organize the movement of collective thought. But from this chaos of information, if they can get something useful for every day.

Know that you can save some money , unless you end up with the energy service providers that, while willing to electronic meters connected to the computer network, we calculate the amount on the bill, assuming consumption of the same period in Previous ( well as presumptive

) ...

What? All suppliers are 'is what?

Okay ... In this case there is a small atoll in French Polynesia currently uninhabited, but please, bring some clothing antiradioattivo ... from one of the most famous Decalogues on energy saving, at the start of RadioRai

M'illumino less : turn off lights when not needed
off and not left on standby electronic devices frequent defrosting the refrigerator, keep the coil clean and away from the wall so that air can circulate
put the lid on pots when boiling water and always avoid the flame is wider than the bottom
the pot is too hot if you lower radiators instead of opening windows to reduce drafts the frames filling material that does not pass through air use tends to create spaces in front of windows, doors and windows, exterior doors not leave curtains closed in front of radiators

insert special insulating films and reflective of the exterior walls and radiators
use the car as little as possible and if necessary to share with those in the same way.
Some things, perhaps, already do, like turning off lights when not in use or put the lid to boil water or keep the flame too high: they are almost never obvious and you'd imagine to get who knows what they save. Yet these ten are just small steps to allow us to save what little mad about not getting bills. Let '...
4. Saving electricity
5. The first three points of the decalogue are designed to save us electricity, leave lights burning unnecessarily consuming power is, of course, because in fact, no one benefits from the lighting, which is wasted, but paid. A good rule
this idea can be combined with the use of light bulbs
: they average more light, consume less, last longer, often found in light neutral is also less painful to the eye. I'm just a bit 'slower to ignite (
7. but there are also models of "rapid"
) have a higher cost and should be disposed of in a different way. But at the level of
pockets are more useful than a traditional bulb.
Electronic devices are often not used when in standby mode
: for example, led to think of the TV. All LEDs of your home you suck

average 15% of your annual consumption
. Moral: either the appliance or turn off the power supply really pull the plug when not in use.
time ago I saw on TV a man who had successfully solved the problem of the inconvenience of having to remove unused appliances attacking all devices in the home to groups of multiple sockets with switch : they are also easily findable in the supermarket, have the advantage of sticking with a single wall outlet and disconnect from the network multiple devices by pressing a single button

that in some models, is fused life-saving. There are more expensive models on the market, wound used in offices, also equipped with an uninterruptible . The group is useful if you have problems with surges of electrical power ( and Italy are frequent, despite what you say ... ): the constant surges can affect the bill investment and a source can be of great help.

on the fridge there is little to say in fact is the only appliance that we have to keep lit unless you want to find ourselves with throwing all the food that we keep inside, or unless you eat the only millet and oats ... when you fly low, let us a whistle ... Since defrost it is a huge hassle to leave you
advice that I found on Yahoo Answers , although I admit that the answer is written in essemmessese ... In the kitchen The fourth recommendation is all culinary: you put the lid on the pot water for pasta? It looks like a
stampaleria, but is explained by the more pragmatic of reasons, including Abina all'accorgimento of flame does not exceed the edge of the pan: in fact a closed metal container holds more heat, the water is boiling before and you save gas. Keeping the flame over the edge of the pot (
but also the pan, or mocha ) in fact, keep the flame low. The two together combine two forms of savings, without sacrificing a pasta cook in 15 minutes ...
How cold does it ... Advice from fifth to ninth are all focused on domestic heating: it must be said, however, to be truthful, that not all have central heating at home or can adjust ignition timing. Often, especially in older residential buildings, everything is centralized: the heating is switched on at times absurd, given according to an abnormal number of hours and the temperature inside the building can get around to that of a nuclear fusion reactor. Of course, you save on gas because the water is boiling before you finish the bowl, but heating costs become absurd and untenable for pants. Added to this is the good habit of certain condominiums of not paying the heating, knowing full well that much, then, the Chief spalmerà spending on the 3rd floor of that idiot who always pay more ...
As for tents, nowadays, without advertising to anyone, it is not difficult to find even on economic measures, including axes, pins and anything else: you choose the imagination, the safety officer there size and there the packs, and finally mounted with the drill and screwdriver on the wall. The discomfort is wash them, but never mind, because not only useful, they also help to have a little 'of
privacy in the apartment without having to give up the sunlight ( unless you buy the black ... abiate
) . Just a note: I can remember that my grandmother's house, an old palace built in the early '900, the radiators were placed under the windows. In such a case, I think that tends to be inadvisable ( even if my grandmother had ) and should only fall back on heat reflective insulation.

A consideration of the cavity: nowadays more and more houses have thin walls, whereas in the past it was common to build the gap. Why the architects have abandoned this excellent technical solution I do not know, I know, however, that this empty space inside the wall of the house has many great advantages, especially in terms of energy. The space allows you to heat the house and not to disperse the heat, but also allows heat from the outside do not penetrate into the house, resulting in a warm Winter and cool in Summer.

heat reflective insulation panels to be placed behind radiators can be found relatively easily, especially in big cities or on the Internet
after all reasonable costs to a few tens of dotarne € for the whole house. The same goes for closing the drafts, even with simple strips of rubber adhesive to stick under the door or windows: just go to the hardware store and buy ready-made splints also holes for the screws or nails, if you have wooden window frames or Adhesive strips, plastic and metal. Most kitsch you can also use the "snakes" of the piece in front of windows with sill ( But I do not know you ... and if I know you'll pretend not to have ever met ...
).
The principle applied is similar to that of the pan in the kitchen: an enclosed environment is heated before and dissipates less heat, with the result that after heating the house you can turn off the system and save money.

The car in the last group Board of the Decalogue is the most stately, tall, almost philosophical: If you have any home to visit her elderly aunt, damn it, go out with four cars! It only takes one. If you are all right so the city would be less congested, there would be less pollution, you would use less gasoline ( consumption of a single vehicle are not those of four ... ), people may even socialize a bit 'more. pity that in Italy is not occur to anyone you would like to be able to leave the comfort of her aunt at the last moment and return home by four different roads? Then he tells everyone what to see and spend the evening talking about traffic ... Then, the Decalogue is over: rilegetevelo and then click below to download it in PDF and print at your leisure. It is easy to apply (the last point ...

) and is especially useful.

Nothing so far described is in violation of any law or sneaky , But in a next time I'm going to talk about water and sunlight, the photovoltaic panels and rainwater tanks. There is too much foreshadowing, but it is curious to see how our country ...
