Here are a few tips on how to beat the heat and save power and water, this summer.<\/p>\n
Keep cool<\/b><\/p>\n
These ten tips will help you keep cool even if it feels like the sun is out to get you.<\/p>\n
1. Keep hydrated \u2013 Constant sweating in the heat can dehydrate you. Make sure that you drink plenty of water.
\n2.\u00a0Wear cotton clothes \u2013 Cotton absorbs sweat and is comfortable in the summer heat.
\n3.\u00a0Eat plenty of water based fruits like watermelon, musk melon etc.
\n4.\u00a0Eat more cooling vegetables like cucumber, pumpkin etc.
\n5.\u00a0Drink plenty of liquids \u2013 fruit and vegetable juices, and buttermilk and tender coconut water.
\n6.\u00a0Use a spritzer \u2013 A spritzer bottle with cold water to spray your face with is a great way to feel refreshed.
\n7.\u00a0Cook early in the morning before it gets too warm or late in the evenings after the sun goes down.
\n8.\u00a0Eat more fresh salads and simpler foods that need minimum cooking.
\n9.\u00a0Avoid spicy food and baked and roasted food (Using an oven heats up the house)
\n10. Rubbing ice cubes on the wrist and neck (cooling points in your body) will cool you down.<\/p>\n
Save power<\/b><\/p>\n
Though it will be extremely warm, it is our duty to avoid using too much power for coolers and air conditioners. Instead of running the units the entire day, once you cool down the room with air conditioner, try these tips:<\/p>\n
1.\u00a0Put wet curtains on the window.
\n2.\u00a0Keep bowls of water in the room. This keeps the room cool.
\n3.\u00a0Put thattis outside your windows and wet them.
\n4. Splash a little water on the terrace over the room.<\/p>\n
Save water<\/b><\/p>\n
Yes, we do use more water in the summer, but we can help conserve water in small ways.<\/p>\n
1.\u00a0Make sure that you don\u2019t have leaky taps or faucets.
\n2.\u00a0Use a mug to dispense water when you brush your teeth or wash your face rather than keep the tap running.
\n3.\u00a0Don\u2019t shower. Fill water in a bucket and bathe using a mug.
\n4.\u00a0Don\u2019t use sprinklers in the garden. Water the garden using a pipe.
\n5.\u00a0Make sure that your building has rain water harvesting.
\n6.\u00a0Wait for clothes to pile up and do one large load rather than many small loads of laundry.
\n7.\u00a0Make sure to keep an eye on the water pump when pumping to the overhead tank and ensure that it doesn\u2019t overflow.
\n8.\u00a0Have a water butt on the overhead tank drainpipe to catch any overflow which can be used for the garden.<\/p>\n
Hopefully, with a little care, we can get through the summer in an environmentally friendly way!<\/p>\n
