In environmental terms, sustainability

Sustainability and YOU

In environmental terms, sustainability implies that an action can be continued indefinitely with little, or manageable, impact on the environment.

Sustainability and water & energy Sustainability and water & energy efficiency is not only about installing a solar hot water system or about buying a solar photovoltaic energy system or about investing in insulation for your house.

Sustainability and water & energy efficiency is about changing the way efficiency is about changing the way you think about what you do to live the way you live and to think about how you use the technologies your currently using better or using new technologies to live in a more sustainable way.

The first step to understand your “footprint” is to capture all the information you can about your home or dwelling and to build a picture of your current use of energy and water.

Things about your home like:-Things about your home like:-What is your home made of; does your home have insulation in the walls/ceiling; what’s on the north side...

Things about your current energy and water:-How many taps do you have around your home; how many toilets; what appliances do you have and use; what type of and how many light fittings are around your home....

Sustainability is a serious matter.

It’s only when you understand what you do to live the way you live and how you use the technologies your currently using can you make informed decisions about what to do next.informed decisions about what to do next.

Beware of people trying to sell you “stuff”

Being sold insulation, solar hot water systems or solar PV systems may not provide their full benefits when they not considered with how you live.
