This is because more coal is burned to carbon dioxide rises to the ozone layer and wear.
Jose Rodriguez, a naturalist and anthropologist dedicated social care for the environment, said the Christmas decorative items are part of a consumerism that only makes it more powerful light companies.
said that an air conditioner in summer season brings more energy than a series of lights, but if there are 10 sets in a single house is equivalent to 10 light bulbs, double or triple the energy expenditure than is commonly used at home .
"You have to realize that the more electricity is consumed, the more we will have a negative impact. So to have more consumption, more pollution is on the planet, "said the expert. He explained that
las compañías de luz no tienen campañas sobre el cuidado para esta temporada porque entre más consumo, hay más ganancias para ellos. El ambientalista calificó la energía eléctrica como una mercancía y no como un servicio público, pues desde hace varios años la gente hace lo posible por comprar, comprar y comprar más luz, sin medirse en el cuidado.
“Les interesa que consigan más luz, hay más venta de producto y por consiguiente hay empresas trasnacionales españolas que sacan ganancias y que utilizan a la CFE y simplemente como un distribuidor de energía eléctrica y no como un productor”, comentó.
Para realizar un good use of energy in Christmas
4 We recommend measures to make better use of electricity, while avoiding accidents.
1. We recommend, with Christmas decorations, never connect several lights in a contact, and will produce overload in the system, danger of overheating, poor operation, possible power outages, short circuits and other damage, because usually the bulk of the cable used is less than that set standards. Also highly recommended is the use of series of LED lights, they consume 1.3 watts instead of 56 watts consumed by the traditional series.
2. If you use an artificial Christmas tree, it is important to choose a fire resistant, buy LED or fiber optic therefore are compact, with lighting effects, not hot and can last up to 12 years. If natural, be sure to keep the moisture needed to prevent drying and represent a fire hazard. Do not put a tree near a radiator, fireplace or other heat source. Before going to bed, switch off lights and other Christmas tree ornaments.
3. In the case of using an electrical system, one must know that they require high intake, as recommended heaters with automatic. In the case of natural gas heaters, they are much more efficient than electric heaters can consume up to 1,500 watts, the same as having 30 halogen bulbs pinned together.
4. To keep warm, it is necessary to maintain watertight closing windows and doors by a silicone seal, and that approximately ten percent of the energy is lost through poorly sealed windows and doors. As adequate insulation of roofs, walls, drains and sinks. When using air conditioning units, insulate the pipes too, since this generates a saving of 30 percent.
