- It takes 0.03 kWh of electricity, 13 liters of water, and 22.5 grams of detergent to wash a bed sheet.
- If the 13,378 star hotels in China changed bed sheets every three days instead of everyday, a total of 24,000 tons of coal can be saved, cutting 60,000 tons of CO2 emission.

Global warming has brought about the frequency and intensity of typhoons, droughts and flood, as well as the acceleration of glacier melting and species becoming extinct. The cause of global warming is carbon dioxide (CO2) emitted by the consumption of fossil fuels, such as coal and petroleum. This gas is trapped in the atmosphere and causes temperatures to rise.

To save the globe and our beautiful planet, we promote an environmental life with a low-carbon footprint. Let us start with the little things in life!

Remember the formula:
1 kWh electricity = 0.4 kg coal + 4 liters water + 1 kg carbon dioxide + 0.03kg sulfur dioxide
