2. Don't purchase unnecessary clothes, and be careful about the materials you buy. Wool and cotton fabrics have a really high greenhouse gas impact. Manmade fibers such as polyester are a better choice.

不要购买不需要的衣物，对衣物料子的选择要谨慎。羊毛和棉织品生产时排放的温室气体更多。人造纤维，例如伸缩尼龙就是个更好的选择。

3. There's no point having the heat up high while the wind's blowing in under the door or sneaking in through the window. Reseal all window frames to keep the heat in.

4. Try to buy high-quality, long-lasting products even though they may cost a little more. A laptop is more efficient than a desktop, and a small screen TV is better than a big flat-screen.

7. The greediest home device along with the washing machine is the fridge. Make sure it's as efficient as possible by keeping it out of direct sunlight and away from the oven or heater. Don't put food in when it's still warm.

和洗衣机一样位列“最贪婪”家电的就是电冰箱了。电冰箱要避免太阳直射，远离微波炉或加热器，尽量保证它的工作效率。另外，切记不要把热的食物放进冰箱。
