Small actions on the part of many people can lead to major differences in saving the resources of our small planet.
Reduce environmental impact and minimise operating costs
Here are just a few tips and reminders for us all to implement in our daily lives:
- Turn off all lights when not using them
- Use energy saving light bulbs
- Do not waste water, gas, electricity
- Reduce waste, recycle paper, plastic, glass etc.
- Lower vehicle emissions, carbon footprint, share transport, walk, public transport
- Switch off equipment not in use; do not leave on equipment on standby (house: radio, microwave, kettle, computer, printers etc)
- Switch to renewable energy sources (solar panels, wind turbines etc.)
- Energy efficient equipment
- Use technology: save on paper and trees by sending emails and instant messages, have teleconferences instead of commuting and increasing carbon emissions for meetings, reduce carbon footprint, saves time
- Reduce heat and light; use natural light or lighting, reduce heating even by 2 degrees, saves a lot of money and co2
- Insulate walls and floors
- Use economode when printing materials, saves ink
The list goes on, but at least the above gives you something to
think about and hopefully put into practice. Even if a person tries to
practise one suggestion regularly it will be worth it.
