Hot water heater

Minimizing the distance from home hot water heater to laundry or dishwasher can help us save water as well as energy; we may alternately decide upon a tankless or ‘instant’ water heater close by appliances demanding hot water. The use of cold water detergents and cold water cycles can also help us save considerably on overall energy use.

Business strategies that promote environmental sustainability can also save money since these implementations tend to focus on reducing waste (which means using less) and reusing components (which means ordering new components less often). At the onset of putting business strategies into effect that are intended to promote environmental sustainability, it's a good idea to make sure everyone in your company or business is on board. Post flyers, mention it in passing, and perhaps hold a meeting to discuss how important these implementations are. Less waste is more money, higher profit, and could end up as bonuses in the pockets of the employees.

An AT&T telecommuting survey, based on responses from more than 9,000 full- and part-time employees and their supervisors participating in the company's telecommuting program, concluded that productivity increases, often dramatically, by enabling employees to perform work away from their central work location.

Completed in August 2009, the survey indicated that among telecommuting supervisors, more than 98 percent indicated that telecommuting has had either a positive or neutral impact on employee productivity. This view was shared by employees themselves, with more than 96 percent indicating that they agree or strongly agree that they are more productive on the days when they telecommute.

One advocate of Abundance Meal described how it is possible for people to improve their health and energy levels by following seven simple steps. The meal is tasty and highly unusual, consisting of colon cleanse fiber blend, bentonite clay, and sea salt flush. For people hesitant to make a commitment to the Abundance Meal thirty day cleanse, the seven steps include: walking, sunshine, clean air, whole foods, loving/non-toxic relationships, and passion. This combination would make anyone feel grounded yet euphoric.

Restrooms and their amenities are also at a nexus of environmental concerns: water cleanliness and conservation, energy consumption, paper product consumption, waste reduction, disease prevention, indoor air quality, the use of potentially toxic cleansers, etc. And, because restrooms are used regularly and constantly in almost all built environments, their use of energy and water almost never stop, nor does their consumption of valuable maintenance staff hours and supplies. Relatively minor incremental savings in initial restroom design and engineering can therefore translate into substantial long-term savings.
