Approximately the 70 percent of the terrestrial surface is occupied by water, but only the 2.5 percent is apt for the human consumption, for that reason, the efficient use of this resource is fundamental. The Channel of Isabel II proposes nine recommendations to him to use each drop correctly: it closes the faucet while cepilla the teeth, always fills the dishwasher, watches that the faucets do not drip, dúchese instead of to bathe, does not use the toilet like dustbin, it does not leave the faucet open until the water cools off, uses cisterns of double it loads, it destines the leftover water of the meals to water the plants and slightly closes the stop cock of the house.
Feeding

It decides on foods that come from agriculture and the ecological cattle ranch. These, besides being healthier, when not using in their production fertilizing and chemical pesticides, foment the sustainable rural development. Also, the ecological products do not take additives, potenciadores preservatives nor of flavor (it fíjese or in the label, because it must contain a seal certifies that it). It also consumes fresh and natural foods of season or products coming from the commerce just. In this way, we will reduce the energy (and its corresponding CO2 emissions) that is needed to transport them and we will avoid the extra cost that is pleased when buying littler foods or than they come from other countries.

Energy
The optimization of the use of the energy in the home can reduce, and much, its invoice in order month and, therefore, the carbon dioxide emissions. For it, it is necessary that it follows a series of very useful advice as far as the heating, isolation, electric home appliances and illumination of his house. For example, it installs a thermostat in the heating and regúlelo to 20 degrees in winter, by each additional degree will approximately spend a 5 percent more of energy; it chooses acristalamiento instead of double window double (a look throws to the Web www.cambialasventanas.com about the Renove Plan of the Community of Madrid); it uses electric home appliances of class To and it extinguishes those that have an ignited pilot when they are in rest and replaces the normal light bulbs by others of low consumption.

Residues
The motto is “reduces, reuses and recycle�. If it follows these three you rule will avoid the generation of unnecessary residues. For it, it must adopt practical habits of purchase like not using plastic bags, acquiring re-usable, prepared packages in plastic PET against the PVC, etc. Once used decides on the recycling through the systems of selective collection, also calls clean points, that differentiate between: light glass, packages, broad, domestic paper and cardboard, batteries, oils, red cartridges and tóner, fluorescent, medecines, x-rays…

Clothes
Sustainable fashionable speech when in their preparation and cycle of existence the raw materials have considered, manufacture, manufactures, finished, transport, sale and uses. In this sense, it is necessary to know that the synthetic fibers (nailon, perlé, licra) are obtained of derivatives of petroleum and its elaboration generates an important air pollution. Like alternative, the call is abre to step “ecomoda�, with articles to dress organic produced to a large extent in ecological cotton, which assures that, throughout its process (culture and harvesting), any type of chemical agent or synthetic has not been used.

Transport
For short passages, most healthful it is to move on foot or in bici. If they are long, the public transport is better option than the private one for the environment. Even so, if it does not have left more remedy than to use the car, it can learn to lead of one more a more efficient way. It remembers that, at more speed, major fuel consumption and contamination. The RACC Automobile Club along with the Institute for the Diversification and Saving of the Energy (Idea) offers courses of economic conduction, that allows the conductors to secure fuel savings among the 15 and 20 percent.
