How to reduce energy & water consumption?

[pacifiedseat]

I'd like to get some of your suggestions on how to reduce energy & water consumption. Oh wait, you might think that my topic is not interesting and may sound boring. Lol. Well, just think that your inputs are for the benefits of our environment. Our company is planning to come up with a campaign which is to minimize the consumption of energy and water in our vicinity. So as part of the team, I am doing some research, trying to come up with a proposal, list of plans, programs, etc...and hopefully I can get some great suggestions here. Thanks and will surely appreciate!

Make sure you turn off any lights you aren't using, unplug electronics that aren't being used (especially phone chargers), try to only run the air conditioner when it's needed most if it's hot outside, buy light bulbs that use less energy

Take shorter showers, don't run water unless you are using it (like turn the water off while brushing teeth), fix leaky/dripping faucets as they waste a lot of water, wash more clothes at a time in the washer so you're not wasting more water on less clothes, same for using the dishwasher


Just some things I do daily that I could think of.

Don't shower or turn on the lights ever

Hello! Thank you very much for your suggestions.
We're also considering hiring a company that can monitor our energy and water consumption and help us reduce. We've heard great things about Ecova so we're thinking about hiring them. Do you know of any other company like them? We could use another one for comparison.

I'm sure there are tons of websites online with ideas you can use. For energy consumption, solar energy could be an option depending where you live.

Don't run air-conditioning or heaters
