How to save electricity with the help of common faunas ?

Electricity is mainly used to power lights, TV, refrigerators, air coolers and conditioners, heaters etc.

You can follow the steps written in the article “How to save electricity with the help of battery powered appliances?” to save the electricity lost in lights, fans, TV, refrigerators etc.

To save electricity for air cooling and conditioning:

Place some special plants in your house . Your room temperature can also be controlled with the help of some floras. Below is a list of plants and its effect on your room. Place them and enjoy the natural cooling and heating.

Dwarf Bamboo : Create a shade in your room. Many people increase their room decor with Chinese dwarf bamboo trees and is well known for its room-cooling property. Keep it for 5 days and check the room temperature .You will know the difference.

Cloaca : NASA take these plants in its space ships. They are extremely popular with space scientists as it is a very low cost oxygen generator. But Cloaca is a very touchy plant and if you can not provide constant flowing water it will die.

Water Lilly : Known for absorbing moisture

Trees are green machines that act as natural filters of our air. Through the process of photosynthesis they absorb carbon dioxide (a key G.H.G and principle contributor to global warming) from the atmosphere and store it in their trunk, branches, leaves, roots, soil and foliage, while releasing oxygen back out.

Whereas deforestation, degradation and poor forest management reduce carbon storage in forests, sustainable management, planting, and rehabilitation of forests can increase carbon sequestration. In fact the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization states “global carbon retention resulting from reduced deforestation, increased forest regrowth and more agro-forestry and plantations could make up for about 15% of carbon emissions from fossil fuels over the next 50 years (2006).”

Not only are trees an effective means for absorbing and storing the carbon you emit, they have far reaching benefits that extend well beyond that of filtering the air. Sustainably managed forests and urban forestry projects have multiple environmental and socio-economic functions important at the global, national and local scales, and play a vital part in sustainable development. Forests are sources of wood products. They help regulate local and regional rainfall. And forests are crucial sources of food, medicine, clean drinking water, and immense recreational, aesthetic, and spiritual benefits for millions of people.

Now open the E.M.C .Calculate the cost of electricity with and without B.P.As. And also calculate the charge if you use the above special plants.See the screen-shots given below :

How to make software without code ?

Programming language like C, C++, Java or scripts like PHP, JavaScript help us to make ineractive applications that can easily accomplish repetitive works or complex goals. But can you build such applications without knowing any programming languages? Each application is based on data .Data is stored in a database. The programming languages take the data as required and with the data it performs the job it was instructed to do. So every application has a database and programming language to solve the problem. It also has interfaces that help a user to give the input of the problem and also to see the output of the same. MS Excel can also do the same. With MS Excel and a software called Spread Sheet Converter (earlier Excel Everywhere) anyone can develop a complete user friendly application.
