Adventures, reflexions and thoughts of Mathieu Oliveira, somewhere in the world where good croissants are not always easy to find.




I thought these ads from Siemens were quite interesting, not for the phone they ultimately advertise but for their unusual and very interesting environmental tips. See for yourself! Learn more at make-a-little-difference.com.

If you want to save the environment, freeze some books.
The fuller the freezer, the less cold air comes out when you open it.
And that saves energy.


If you want to save the environment, eat what's nearby.
A basket of fruit flown in from overseas emits more CO2 than an average family uses for cooking in six months.


If you want to save the environment, keep a lid on it.
Cooking with the lid on uses 75% less energy - and it also brings food on the table faster.


If you want to save the environment, no sweat.
Lower the room temperature by 1ºC and save up to 6% on energy.


If you want to save the environment, put the pressure on.
Raising tire pressure just a little above recommended levels can lower fuel consumption by up to 3%.


If you want to save the environment, raise the temperature.
Increasing the refrigerator temperature by 1ºC saves up to 6% energy.


If you want to save the environment, defrost in the fridge.
Frozen food releases cold air when defrosting. So your refrigerator will use less energy to stay cool.
