[Life Style] - Washing our car environmentally friendly
Written by madnilk Sunday, 13 December 2009 23:14
Everything that we choose to do in life always take effect toward environment no matter how small or vice versa. There are something we should know about mother nature - lots of thing will extinct if we don't preserve it. I'm going to talk about our nature of car wash- such behavior which people use to forget inflict many things toward the environment.
Many do not realize that washing our car, especially at homes, do give major environmental impacts. Either, it's excess water use, dangerous product usage or improper drainage. So, let us learn for today onward the appropriate precautions before cleaning our vehicles.
Curb Water Use
The average water hose in homes use anywhere from 5-10 gallons of water per minute depending on the pressure of the water. If we decide to use the hose for 10 minute of the washing, we can use as many as 100 gallons of water or more just to rinse a car. This means that we have to ensure we are not allowing our hoses to run while not rinsing our cars off.
When we not directly rinsing our car, make sure to turn off the water hose. An automatic shutoff nozzles can also be used to ensure water is not being wasted. If we have a pressure washer, we will get the maximum water savings because they only use a fraction of the water of hoses as well as provide higher pressure. Which save more water.
Eco-Friendly Car Products
Before we buys any cleaning product for the vehicle, make sure that 'they' are non-toxic, contains low or no phosphates and are biodegradable. Some of these products may be slightly more expensive, but will ensure our safety as well as environments. If our car is not that dirty, we can always just scrub it with no soap and still get clean.
Proper Drainage
Just because we decide to go with a safe cleaning product, does not mean that the dangerous chemicals will not entering the ground. The variety of chemicals that can end up on our vehicle are not safe in any ways to directly enter our ground. If possible, try to wash our vehicle on the grass or surface that allow the chemical to be filtered before entering the ground.
Home vs. Commercial Car Washing
Commercial car washing services are not the best solution, but may be much more environmentally friendly than we might think. On average, a commercial car washing service only uses a little as 15 gallons of water per person for self service. Conveyor services can use considerably more water and chemicals.
So, be sure to use self-service - instead of saving environment we can also use it as our exercise routines. Many car wash businesses also recycle their water as much as 80% of the water and properly discharge it it to ensure treatment before re-entering our water systems. Not every car washing businesses are created equal so ask the appropriate question to make sure that they are providing environmentally friendly services.
P/S: Always to our home work before doing our car washing routine and make sure - Lets us preserve mother nature, even with slightness change. That all from me Daaaaaaaaaaaaa[People] - Who Packs Your Parachutes?
Written by madnilk Monday, 23 November 2009 00:31
Have we ever thought of people who might pack our 'parachutes'? Let us learn from this story:
Charles Plumb was a US Navy jet pilot in Vietnam.
After 75 combat missions, his plane was destroyed by a surface-to-air missile. Plumb ejected and parachuted into enemy hands.
He was captured and spent 6 years in a communist Vietnamese prison.
He survived the ordeal and now lectures on lessons learned from that experience!
One day, when Plumb and his wife were sitting in a restaurant, a man at
another table came up and said, "You're Plumb! You flew jet fighters in
Vietnam from the aircraft carrier Kitty Hawk. You were shot down!"
"How in the world did you know that?" asked Plumb.
"I packed your parachute," the man replied.
Plumb gasped in surprise and gratitude.
The man pumped his hand and said,
"I guess it worked!"
Plumb assured him,
"It sure did. If your chute hadn't worked,
I wouldn't be here today."
Plumb couldn't sleep that night, thinking about that man.
Plumb says, "I kept wondering what he had looked like in a Navy uniform:
a white hat; a bib in the back; and bell-bottom trousers.
I wonder how many times I might have seen him and not even said
'Good morning, how are you?' or anything because, you see, I was a
fighter pilot and he was just a sailor."
Plumb thought of the many hours the sailor had spent at a long
wooden table in the bowels of the ship, carefully weaving the
shrouds and folding the silks of each chute, holding in his hands each time
the fate of someone he didn't know.
Now, Plumb asks his audience,
"Who's packing your parachute?"
Everyone has someone who provides what they need to make it through the day.
He also points out that he needed many kinds of parachutes when his plane
was shot down over enemy territory-he needed his physical parachute, his
mental parachute, his emotional parachute, and his spiritual parachute.
He called on all these supports before reaching safety.
Sometimes in the daily challenges that life gives us, we miss what is
really important.
We may fail to say hello, please, or thank you, congratulate someone
on something wonderful that has happened to them, give a compliment, or
just do something nice for no reason. As you go through this week, this
month, this year, recognize people who pack your parachutes.
I am sending you this as my way of thanking you for your part in
packing my parachute. And I hope you will send it on to those
who have helped pack yours!
p/s: LOVE EVERYONE Daaaaaaaaaaaa
