How to do your Part to Support Environmental Protection

With every passing day, our planet is getting worse. Several things can be done that can be beneficial to our planet. This isn’t extremely complicated to perform. Certain changes and habits are enough to bring about a positive change in the environment. Here are a few things that you can do that can be helpful both for you and the environment.

  • Clean Out the Trash:

There are several locations where you will find litter across your community. You can start picking up the litter wherever you spot them. Carry a bag once you step out of the house and pick up the trash and keep collecting it. Ask people in your community to do the same so that you can keep your neighbouring areas clean and hygienic.

  • Purchase Recyclable Products:

You will find plenty of brands that produce products that can be recycled. It’s a great initiative, and all we can do is support them by buying their products. Look out for the information on those products to know whether they can be recycled or not.

  • Plant Trees or Flowers:

Perhaps one of the simplest things to do is to plant trees or flowers. You don’t need a garden to do this. All you need to do is plant a tree or a flowering plant in your backyard or find a community space. You can always ask people like your friends or family to do the same, or you can initiate a campaign.

  • Conserve Water:

The world is running out of freshwater storage, and so it is high time that we start conserving water whenever possible. This can start by changing our old habits that involve turning off the tap water when not in use or limiting the shower times.

  • Donate:

Start looking for things you don’t use anymore, around your house. You can start donating these items that you do not require any more, or you can arrange for a community donation as well.

  • Conserve Electricity:

Doing this will not only save the planet but can also save you some money. You can start by switching to energy-efficient light bulbs that last for a very long time and do not require a lot of electricity. Other than that, you can change habits like turning off the air conditioner when not in use.

  • Go Walking and Biking as Much as Possible:

The next time you need to go somewhere close, you can get there by walking or biking. Not only is it good for your health, but you can also reduce your carbon footprint by not taking out your car. Using the car less often will lead to lesser emissions, which can be a major blessing for our environment.

It is never too late to make efforts towards environment preservation. For Volunteering opportunities go to https://www.handsonneworleans.org/ for more information.

How to Improve your Fuel Economy?

Regular maintenance is important to keep the engine in good condition which will also give you good mileage. However, there are few other things that can be done to improve your fuel economy. Here are some tips that will help your car run more miles per gallon of fuel.

Don’t Accelerate Unnecessary:

When you are behind the steering wheel, you might get excited and accelerate to go faster than others on the road. This driving habit is disastrous for fuel economy. When you drive at high speed, the engine burns more fuel. You should always drive at economical speeds 45mph-60mph and avoid going over 60mph.

Use Gravity:

You need to look ahead carefully when driving which will help you spot obstacles earlier. Instead of braking and starting over again, remove your foot off the accelerator and let your vehicle slow down naturally. This driving tip will certainly save some fuel. If you are driving downhill, use the incline/slope to build up the momentum. The momentum your car gathers can help you drive up the incline more easily with less acceleration.

Use Engine Start/Stop Button:

Whenever you feel the vehicle will be stationary for a while, stop the engine. Modern cars start within few seconds and you can easily move ahead without any delay. Starting your engine at traffic signal or when stuck in traffic jam leads to wastage of fuel. Hence, you should anticipate traffic conditions and use engine start/stop button more frequently.

Switch Off the Air Conditioning when Not Necessary:

Do you know air-conditioning system in your car burns more fuel than any luxury feature in your car? An air conditioning system increases fuel consumption by approximate 20% due to extra load on the engine. Hence, you should switch off the AC when not required.

Be Careful When Selecting Fancy Wheels:

Many people purchase fancy wheels to improve car’s look. While there is nothing wrong in it, you should be careful when selecting fancy wheels. You need to purchase strong and sturdy wheels which are lightweight too. If you purchase heavy wheels, it will increase overall weight of the vehicle that will increase fuel consumption.

Avoid High Octane Fuels:

High octane fuels are expensive and do nothing to improve fuel economy. There is a misconception that high octane fuel enhances engine performance which might not be true in your case. The truth is high octane fuel is ideal for performance cars like luxury and sports cars that have advanced high compression engine. Regular car engines do not compress air-fuel mixture in the combustion chamber of the engine. If you use high octane fuel in your regular car, a lot of fuel will get wasted as the fuel will not complete its full combustion cycle. Also, you will not receive any performance boost.

Reduce Weight:

Many times, we leave many things in the car without thinking it is increasing weight of the car. Make it a habit to remove unwanted things from car’s cabin and trunk. The reduced weight will also reduce fuel consumption.

St. Patrick’s Day: Celebrations and Fun Activities in New Orleans

The day to officially celebrate St. Patrick’s Day every year is March 17th. When you are in New Orleans, you can find the festivity for more than a week! The multi-week celebration with Irish dishes, block parties, and parades can engage both natives and foreigners.

While looking back to the 17th century, you can find that the USA received lots of Irish immigrants who searched for a better lifestyle. Some of them also settled in South Louisiana. The Irish laborers created the New Basin Canal to connect Lake Pontchartrain with Uptown. However, yellow fever caused the death of several workers. Some lucky workers who survived their lives worked at the Port of New Orleans. That is why New Orleans gives value to the Irish heritage, culture, and history.

It is really a unique celebration, as you can find heads of cabbage, potatoes, carrots, and onions, flying. Marchers also hand out paper flowers while they kiss each other.

Finn McCool’s- One of the Best Destinations for Americans in New Orleans:

Finn McCool’s located in Mid-City is one of the prominent Irish pubs where you can find loyal and friendly staff. The spacious bar with low-priced drinks and televisions develops a sense of charity and community. It has taken the responsibility of hosting the St. Baldrick’s Day fundraiser to raise funds for cancer patients.

Downtown Irish Club Parade:

Lots of natives in New Orleans take part in this parade that starts at 6 PM. They begin the parade in Bywater and the carnival ends at Bourbon Street. Marchers also stop at different sites along the parade route. Thus, New Orleans likes to create parade schedules, as they take this celebration seriously.

Parties to enjoy St. Patrick’s Day

The Saturday that comes before St. Patrick’s Day is the day to have / go to parties in New Orleans. The Parasol’s Block Party with green beer and Irish themed beverages can amaze you. You can find the block party near Race streets and Chippewa. Wine and beer, art-and-craft booths, local foods, Irish dancers, and music- everything creates a festive atmosphere.
