Cape Town’s residents have been called upon to save power at home on 22 April 2017
Last Updated: 6 April 2017
Capetonians are saving electricity, but could we do more? The City of Cape Town has called upon residents to go the extra mile, by finding new or additional ways to save power at home, in celebration of Earth Day, on 22 April 2017. Falling hot on the heels of the WWF Earth Hour (Saturday, 25 March 2017) challenge, Earth Day is aimed at encouraging individuals all over the world to be more ecologically and environmentally friendly.
The campaign proposes smart ways to save on water heating, which accounts for a whopping 40-60% of electricity consumption in the home. It also encourages Capetonians to collectively use 10% less electricity. Changes are suggested as a way of life and will help to future-proof the environment for generations to come.
Cape Town has very high carbon footprints due to coal-fired electricity usage, which creates air pollution and uses up scarce resources such as water. The knock on effect is that you are paying more for your electricity and face electricity supply shortages. By using your electricity more efficiently, you will help to reduce the carbon footprint and reduce the risk of power cuts in your area.
EARTH DAY TIPS TO HELP YOU SAVE ELECTRICITY AT HOME
EARTH DAY TIPS TO HELP SAVE THE ENVIRONMENT
Earth Day is seen as a day of action and also has a hand in creating a change in human behaviour to make the world a better place to live in. Currently, the battle for a cleaner environment continues with increasing urgency, so do your part this Earth Day and remember, it could be years until we can officially move to Mars so let’s take care of Mother Earth while we can!
