Explanation:
Water: in my home we live 3 people, we use the water from the washing machine
to clean the house, to collect the water, we use a hose which is connected to the
washing machine, it has a cost of 15,000 and is collected in a 80-liter container,
which has a cost of 35,000.
For the implementation of water saving, the data are taken from the cost
references for the aqueduct of the receipt of said service, this is stratified in 2 by
the company.
The water consumption in my home is 8 m3per month, with a cost of 1,500.00 per
cubic meter, the expense of the washing machine in 4 m3per month with a rate of
5.1996.46 each m3 with this implementation we have obtained an economic saving
in water consumption by the washing machine of 1 m3 which is equivalent to
1,500.00 of water for cleaning the house.
Waste: we use blue and green recycling containers, these have a cost of 50,000,
thanks to this waste classification we make a homemade compost, we use a
basket (no cost) with necessary measures for the amount of waste generated at
home, We use this compost as fertilizer for the plants.
The weight of is 1 kg =1.000 gr = 2,2 lb pounds of organic kitchen waste per week,
generating an economic benefit of 4 kilos por 2.000 = 8.000 monthly.
Energy: the use of the saved bulbs has not provided a cost savings, we used
normal yellow light bulbs generated a monthly consumption of 174 kWh/equivalent
months to 44.415 monthly, we replaced them with savers from which we obtained
a monthly consumption of 44 kWh equivalent to 11.405
saving is 33.011 monthly.
As for the electrical appliances, we have taken the precaution of keeping them
disconnected if they are not in use, this has not helped savings, in the same way
we avoid some type of short circuit, fires, global warming, etc.
