Considering the global environmental changes and resource scarcity
WILLEMSTAD - Aqualectra has launched an educational campaign to promote conscious use of water and electricity. The campaign's primary goal is to raise awareness and educate everyone about the practical possibilities, both at home and at work, that can help reduce high water and electricity bills at the end of the month. By joining forces to reduce water and electricity consumption, we also contribute as a country to the greater global effort to mitigate drastic changes in our environment. By changing bad habits, such as leaving taps open or lights on, and by turning off other appliances when not in use, every citizen can enjoy the financial benefits at the end of the month. Furthermore, together we contribute to the larger cause of reducing drastic changes in our environment and conserving resources that are currently scarce worldwide.
Water and electricity are basic human necessities. Despite this, Aqualectra wants to raise awareness within the community about possible efforts that can contribute to reducing end-of-month bills by using water and electricity more consciously. As a country, we can be proud that around 30% of local electricity is produced as renewable energy using wind and solar power. Although Aqualectra has plans to increase renewable energy production, the current reality is that the remaining 70% of production relies on petroleum. Using petroleum for water and electricity production has two consequences: our water and electricity prices fluctuate regularly based on global fuel prices, and it also contributes to the drastic environmental changes that the entire world is experiencing.
Environmental change demands a shift in the way everyone uses water and electricity at home and at work. Unconscious water and electricity usage means more expenses, but it also impacts the future of humanity on this planet.
Times have changed, and it's necessary for us to change with them. Over the next months, various local influencers will provide valuable tips that can lead to water and electricity savings. The key message will be that there are many things each person can do to reduce their water and electricity expenses. Changing bad habits doesn't just benefit individuals but also the overall future of humanity. Aqualectra invites the entire community to support this positive movement, for ourselves and for our future.
