比起家中任何地方，我們在浴室里浪費的水和使用的化學(xué)物質(zhì)都更多！下面是讓浴室更加綠色環(huán)保的方法。
We waste more water and use more chemicals in our bathrooms than any other place in the house! Here’s how to green yours up.
你需要
You Will Need
熒光燈泡
Fluorescent light bulbs
植物
Plants
低流量花灑
Low-flow showerhead
食用色素
Food coloring
天然個人護理產(chǎn)品
Natural personal care products
低流量馬桶
Low-flow toilet
醋
Vinegar
蘇打粉
Baking soda
步驟
Steps
1.更換燈泡
STEP 1 Switch your lights
把常規(guī)燈泡換成緊湊型熒光燈。這種燈泡不僅可以節(jié)能90%，使用壽命也比白熾燈多十倍。
Swap your regular light bulbs for compact fluorescent lights. Not only do they use up to 90% less energy, they also last up to 10 times longer than incandescent bulbs.
2.放置植物
STEP 2 Get a plant
放置一盆植物，不僅更加美觀，根據(jù)NASA一項研究，還可以凈化空氣中的毒素，比如丙酮和甲醛。植物還可以降低濕度，從而減少霉菌和真菌。
Get a plant. They don’t just look nice; according to a study by NASA, they actually clean the air of toxins like acetone and formaldehyde. And they reduce humidity, so you’ll have less mold and mildew.
消除空氣中化學(xué)物質(zhì)的的植物包括吊蘭，橡膠樹，英國常春藤，波士頓蕨，和平百合，以及任何一種棕櫚樹。
The best plants to rid the air of chemicals include spider plants, rubber tree plants, English ivy, Boston ferns, peace lilies, and any kind of palm.
3.替換花灑
STEP 3 Replace your showerhead
替換花灑。普通花灑每分鐘灑落7加侖水，而低流量的花灑水流量只有一半。
Replace your showerhead. A typical showerhead drops about seven gallons of water every minute, while a low-flow one only gives off about half that.
4.檢查馬桶
STEP 4 Check your toilet
一個易漏水的馬桶每天浪費100加侖水！如果要檢查自己的馬桶是否漏水，向馬桶水箱中加入食用色素，等20分鐘，然后查看水是否變色。
A single leaky toilet can waste up to 100 gallons of water a day! To see if yours is leaking, put a few drops of food coloring into the tank, wait 20 minutes, then check if the water in the bowl has changed color.
5.使用天然產(chǎn)品
STEP 5 Use natural products
只用純天然的洗發(fā)水，香皂和和護發(fā)素。不僅可以減少身體吸收的有毒化學(xué)物質(zhì)，還可以防止這些化學(xué)物質(zhì)進入下水道，滲入地下水。
Use only all natural shampoos, soaps, and conditioners. Not only do they reduce the amount of toxic chemicals that get into your body, they prevent those chemicals from going down the drain and into the groundwater.
6.更換馬桶
STEP 6 Swap your toilet
把現(xiàn)在的馬桶換成低流量馬桶。普通馬桶每次沖水使用5至7加侖的水，而新型馬桶用水量低于2加侖。
Replace your existing toilet with a low-flow model. While regular toilets can use as much as five to seven gallons of water per flush, new models use less than two.
一些城市為購買低流量馬桶提供部分退稅。
Some cities give partial rebates for buying a low-flow toilet.
7.天然方法清潔
STEP 7 Clean the natural way
不要使用有毒的清潔劑，自己制作。白醋可以消除細(xì)菌，肥皂斑，霉菌，真菌和礦物質(zhì)殘留。兩份蘇打粉和一份熱水混合可用于清潔瓷磚和地板?，F(xiàn)在，你已經(jīng)打造出綠色環(huán)保的圣所！
Instead of using toxic cleaners, make your own. White vinegar fights germs, soap scum, mold, mildew, and mineral deposits, while two parts baking soda and one part hot water is great for cleaning tile and grout. Now you’ve created a green sanctuary…
低流量馬桶每天為美國人節(jié)約1130萬美元的水費！
Low-flow toilets save Americans $11.3 million every day on their water bills!
