Like mentioned in a previous post this month is devoted to sustainability. We are curious how sustainable our employees are.
Therefore, please comment down below what activities you perform at home to change the environment!
We look forward to seeing your original ideas!
– Dry clothing by air instead of the dryer
– Leave the car at home more often (walk or bike)
– Avoid plastic
– Recycle
– Usage of energy efficient devices and led lights
– Travel by bus to work
– Created a script to automatically turn off the Basestations in the test setup in the evening when no tests are running 🙂
– Go to work by bike
– Remove all cables from sockets when not using them
– Divide plastic waste
– Solar panels on the roof
– Buy more locally produced food – veggies, fruit, meat. And eat with the seasons… e.g. eat Dutch apples and pears rather than clementines imported from South Africa 😉
– Turn off the central heating at home when at work in my home office… only use a small heater there
– Come to the office by bike as often as possible (target: at least 50% of the office days, currently above target)
– Solar panels + all-electric house
@Kimberlie: Tuesdays and Fridays are your come-to-the-office-by-car-days? 😛
I did not say I am going to the office by bike ;-). Private I am going almost always by bike.
– Only use the washing machine and dishwasher during the day (we have solar panels)
– Only heat up the ground floor at the end of the day (right before I get home from work, or downstairs when working at home)
– Use a small electric heater to heat my home office
– Recycling waste
-Reducing usage of plastic bags etc,. by always carrying a reusable bag with me
-Recycling and dividing waste
-Removing electronics from sockets when they’re not in use
-Try to buy fruits and veggies locally as much as possible
-Minimizing use of electricity by having all my curtains open during the day time for natural lighting
– reprogrammed home thermostat – shutting down heating earlier.
– ensured all light fixtures are LED
– put on a sweater vs increasing temp in whole house
– made a small part of the garden to grow vegetables in the future.
– unused rooms, closed any heaters
– more conscious on shower frequency and duration – all family members 😉
– gather rainwater to water garden (2023)
