Please Help Me: I need some idea's on how to organize in Power Point With some nice Pictures?




I need help on finding gooe pictures for each of my ideas posted here; perhaps i can help you with something? i am in South Korea; just ask.



I am doing a Power Point Presentation on Protect the Enviroment; and i have the following ideas; however i could use good help on pictures for each idea. Please help me?

To Stop Global Warming (Protect our Environment)



1. Replace a regular incandescent light bulb with a compact fluorescent light bulb (cfl)

CFLs use 60% less energy than a regular bulb. This simple switch may save about 300 pounds of carbon dioxide a year.

2. Install a programmable thermostat

Programmable thermostats may automatically lower the heat or air conditioning at night and raise them again in the morning. They can save you 0 a year on your energy bill.

3. Move your thermostat down 2° in winter and up 2° in summer

nearly half of the energy we use in our homes goes to heating and cooling. You could save about 2,000 pounds of carbon dioxide a year with this simple adjustment. The American Council for an Energy Efficient Economy has more tips for saving energy on heating and cooling.

4. Clean or replace filters on your furnace and air conditioner

Cleaning a dirty air filter can save 350 pounds of carbon dioxide a year.

5. Choose energy efficient appliances when making new purchases

Look for the Energy Star label on new appliances to choose the most efficient models available.

6. Do not leave appliances on standby

Use the "on/off" function on the machine itself. A TV set that’s switched on for 3 hours a day (the average time Europeans spend watching TV) and in standby mode during the remaining 21 hours uses about 40% of it is energy in standby mode.

7. Wrap your water heater in an insulation blanket

You’ll save 1,000 pounds of carbon dioxide a year with this simple action. you may save another 550 pounds each year by setting the thermostat no higher than 50°C.

8. Move your fridge and freezer

Placing them next to the cooker or boiler consumes much more energy than if they were standing on his own. for instance, if you put them in a hot cellar room where the room temperature is 30-35ºC, energy use is nearly double and causes an extra 160kg of CO2 emissions for fridges each year and 320kg for freezers.

9. Defrost old fridges and freezers regularly

Even better is to replace them with newer models, which some have automatic defrost cycles and are generally up to 2 times more energy-efficient than his predecessors.

10. Don’t let heat escape from your house over a long period

When airing your house, open the windows for merely a few minutes. If you leave a small opening some day long, the energy needed to keep it warm inside during 6 cold months (10ºC or less outside temperature) would result in nearly 1 ton of CO2 emissions.

11. Replace your old single-glazed windows with double-glazing

This requires a bit of upfront investment, but may halve the energy lost through windows and pay off in the long term. If you go for the best the market has to offer (wooden-framed double-glazed units with low-emission glass and filled with argon gas), you may even save more than 70% of the energy lost.

12. Get a home energy audit

Many utilities offer free home energy audits to find where your home is poorly insulated or energy inefficient. you may save up to 30% off your energy bill and 1,000 pounds of carbon dioxide a year. Energy Star can help you find an energy specialist.

13. Cover your pots while cooking

Doing so can save a lot of the energy needed for preparing the dish. Even better are pressure cookers and steamers: they can save around 70%!

14. Use the washing machine or dishwasher merely when they are full

If you need to use it when it is half full, then use the half-load or economy setting. There is also no need to set the temperatures high. Nowadays detergents are so efficient that they get your clothes and dishes clean at low temperatures.

15. take a shower instead of a bath

A shower takes up to 4 times less energy than a bath. To maximise the energy saving, avoid power showers and use low-flow showerheads, which are cheap and provide the same comfort.

16. Use less hot water

It takes a lot of energy to heat water. you may use less hot water by installing a low flow showerhead (350 pounds of carbon dioxide saved each year) and washing your clothes in cold or warm water (500 pounds saved each year) instead of hot.

17. Use a clothesline instead of a dryer whenever possible

you may save 700 pounds of carbon dioxide when you air dry your clothes for 6 months out of the year.

18. Insulate and weatherize your home

Properly insulating your walls and ceilings can save 25% of your home heating bill and 2,000 pounds of carbon dioxide a year. Caulking and weather-stripping can save another 1,700 pounds each year. Energy Efficient has more information on how to better insulate your home.

19. Be sure you’re recycling at home

you may save 2,400 pounds of carbon dioxide a year by recycling half of the waste your household generates. Earth 911 can help you find recycling resources in your area.

20. Recycle your organic waste
