costs, the tendency to inertia and poor politics are an obstacle to the expansion of practice efficiency. A new report, produced by Carbon Connect and sponsored by Siemens and Consensus Business Group, shows how much energy - and companies are wasting money every year for lack of energy efficiency (6 billion pounds a year in only UK).
But this ratio is just the latest in a series that shows what should be a simple and unequivocal truth: saving energy is a valuable asset.
If I do not think ... we think someone else
The reasons why the majority of businesses and ordinary people do not feel involved and not participate in the improvement of environmental sustainability are manifold. First costs.
Energy efficiency could be a good investment for large multinationals with big budget, without incentives, however, improve the insulation, replace windows or install a new boiler operations are often outside the scope of a proprietor of a shop souvenirs, or for a retired couple. Another motivation is the tendency of large groups of people to not share. Or because they believe that someone else will, or because they think that their inaction will not reflect negatively, as part of a crowd.
The weight of political
A study recently published by the United Nations shows that the green economy is an economy able to grow and produce wealth. But nevertheless, a combination of inadequate government policies and regulations are discouraging this business model and at the same time, do not tempt individuals and companies to take the necessary steps to improve the performance of their buildings. For these reasons, energy efficiency is not universally considered a top priority globally.
To change this we need a joint effort between government, business world and individual action. Otherwise, continue to wait for someone else to take the initiative in our place, while yet another report will explain once again that energy efficiency ha un senso, non solo ambientale, ma anche finanziario.
