China is facing power shortage, so your computer and television may be on holiday.
This year power shortages cover 20 provinces across the country. The shortage can usually be blamed on air conditioners. Wuhan, in Hubei province, as much as 100,000kw of electricity would be saved if people set their air conditioners one degree higher than normal.
You may have many household electrical appliances(家用电器)in your home. The following tips can help you save electricity.
l Use air conditioners less. Set the temperature a little bit higher than normal and turn it off one hour before you go out.
l Turn off the lights when you leave a room.
l Unplug electricity devices when not in use. Many televisions and computers use electricity even when they are turned off.
l In rooms where you don’t often stay for long, close curtains during the day to keep off the sun, especially on windows that face south or west. Open them in the evening to let cool air in so you may not need to use air conditioners.
l Take shorter showers. Water heaters use a lot of energy.
l Open your refrigerator door only when necessary. Each time you open the door, the compressor(压缩机) will run for 8-10 minutes to keep the inside cold.
l Ask your parents to replace your regular lights with fluorescent(荧光的)lights. They use about a fourth of the energy of regular lights.
