PL22 10 eco citizen gestures

IT equipment, lighting, heating, air conditioning, travel, all these facets of office life leave an environmental footprint in terms of consumption of energy and raw materials, waste production, greenhouse gas emissions, etc. This workshop to eco-friendly gestures outlines thoughts, oral presentations, debates, comparison and number of actions and best practices that each of us can perform on a daily basis to reduce our impact and help protect the environment. The ideas are clearly definite in different topics: act as an eco citizen: about making a commitment to carrying out simple but vitally important gestures to tackle the environmental and climate change challenges that we now face, reduce my electricity consumption: We could reduce our electricity consumption in the office by 50% through more economical usage and by choosing high performance equipment that requires less energy, adjust temperature: Heating and air conditioning by retaining warmth in winter and coolness in summer, no waste water: managing our water consumption in a sustainable and responsible way, save paper by printing less and reusing used it, reduce and sort my waste, manage my travel arrangements more effectively a number of ways of getting around which have a better impact on the environment, on our health, our finances, speed and general well-being.

Students were really active in communication to share firstly their ideas in pairs and secondly to createpowerpoint, movie and conferences. Many of them used the different informations about sustainabledevelopment (Buildings, water, wastes, … in the public and private places) .
