Panasonic visited the future champions

Understanding the critical importance of energy-saving measures to prevent global warming, Panasonic is now highlighting the energy business solar panels, fuel cells, heat pumps, batteries, light bulbs as one of its key business areas. Panasonic adopted a Declaration of Environmental Commitment, which sets out its corporate policy, conducts extensive environmental activities and supports eco-projects. As part of its Environmental Declaration, Panasonic believes it is critical to foster an environmentally conscious mindset in the next generation.

Future champions stretch out their arms

For over 25 years, Panasonic has been acting as the Global Partner of the International Olympic Committee, and since 2012 has been the official sponsor of Lokomotiv Yaroslavl Hockey Club. The decision to support the American sports team was made for the first time in Panasonic’s history. It turns out that the Japanese manufacturer of consumer electronics supports not only adult, but also children’s and youth hockey.

So, April 24, 2013 held a trip representatives Panasonic and journalists in Yaroslavl, and more specifically – to visit the young hockey players “SDYUSHOR” sports school Lokomotiv , where the future champions were given video equipment to broadcast their games, and many other gifts. But that’s not all

The thing is that Panasonic pays a lot of attention not only to sports, but also to the environment. So it is not surprising that the coordinator of the marketing department, Inna Borscheva, held an eco-lesson for children, where she talked about environmental issues and the work that Panasonic does to reduce CO2 emissions into the atmosphere. The children were happy to take a break from their training and participate in a discussion: What exactly can they do now for the planet?!

Practical measures to save the environment.

• In order to prevent global warming, we must always remember that the unnecessarily high consumption of electricity and petroleum products leads to harmful carbon dioxide emissions, a greenhouse effect and, ultimately, global warming. If we use our cars less and save electricity, we will take an important step towards protecting the environment and have a tangible gain by reducing our daily costs.
• The best way to reduce CO2 emissions is to save electricity!
• Higher efficiency with lower power consumption can be achieved by using inverter technology. This innovative technology was developed in Japan by Panasonic and is already widely used in household appliances, including other brands.

If inverter technology is used in an air conditioner, then instead of constantly running at full power, this air conditioner varies the power level to maintain a set temperature. Using a simple air conditioner wastes almost 50% of your energy and costs twice as much to cool the air. Inverter control is also widely used in microwave ovens, washing machines, and refrigerators.

Microwave ovens use this technology to continuously adjust the magnetron power, refrigerators use inverter control to control compressor power, and Panasonic washing machines use inverter control drum speed.

“The pitfalls of standby mode

Even when the power is off, electrical equipment that is not unplugged continues to consume electricity. When in “standby mode,” the units consume electricity to maintain functions such as displaying the current time, saving the settings entered into memory, or, in the case of a television, simply waiting for a signal from the remote control. Your home is likely to be full of electrical equipment that constantly consumes electricity and you can make sure all these appliances are turned off just by unplugging them from the socket.

Another big step toward saving money would be to unplug appliances that you don’t use all the time, such as seasonal equipment like air conditioners.

What are the pitfalls of having an open refrigerator door and overloading it

Your refrigerator is always on, and if you’re looking for a way to cut energy costs, start there. The new energy-saving refrigerator models feature improved insulation and are designed based on universal design principles, so you won’t need to keep their door open for long. But before you think about buying a new refrigerator, let’s take a look at how you can make your existing one more efficient.

One way to conserve energy is to make a list of everything in your fridge. It makes it easier to reach for the food you want and close the door before the warm air fills the fridge compartment.

Another way to save money is to avoid overloading your refrigerator. If it is loaded no more than 80%, the airflow will circulate better inside, contributing to optimal cooling efficiency.

Water-saving washing machine

Fresh water is one of the most precious natural resources we have to preserve. The easiest way to save water is to turn off the tap when you’re not using it directly. For example, while you’re brushing your teeth or shaving. Another option is to look for new water-saving technologies.

A tilted-drum washer is the best choice in this regard. This design saves a lot more water than conventional front-loading or top-loading models and it will affect your monthly payments.

Bottom line

CONDITIONERS

• Clean your air conditioner’s dust filter regularly and maintain optimal airflow! Vacuuming helps keep your air conditioner in top working order.

REFRIGERATORS

• Don’t leave the fridge door open for too long! By rationally placing food inside the fridge, you can quickly find what you need and close the door much quicker to keep the cold out.
• Clean behind your fridge more often! By making sure that dust does not accumulate on the back of your refrigerator, you will improve heat transfer and ensure optimal food cooling. Efficient cooling also reduces energy waste.
• Let your fridge breathe! Reduce energy loss by leaving space between your refrigerator and the wall for better heat dissipation.

WASHING MACHINES

• Wash only when needed! You can save water and electricity while you have enough laundry for a full load.
• Check the recommended maximum load for your washing machine and avoid overloading the drum.
• Don’t put extra detergent in the machine so you don’t have to rinse for a long time. Using the right amount of detergent will give you clean clothes, but with less water and less electricity.
