Hey everyone,
Today is Energy Conservation Day!
Electricity, gas and water–when was the last time you thought about your utility usage beyond your monthly bill?
Our planet only has a finite amount of energy resources, so using less energy not only lowers costs, it also reduces environmental impact.
Whether you love Earth or just love saving money, here are a few ways to boost how you conserve energy:
- Turn off or unplug your computer and other unused items and appliances when not in use.
- Wash your clothing in cold water.
- Replace your light bulbs and consider a switch to LEDs lights.These last 50 times longer than conventional bulbs and use 1/10th the energy.
- Set your thermostat as high as you can in hotter months and as low as possible in cooler months and wear clothing accordingly.
Thanks for doing your part to make a difference, and please share any other ideas you have already implemented or may have with us!

Hi everyone,
Happy Energy Conservation Day! 🍃
Today isn't just about recognizing the importance of conserving energy; it's also about taking action. Every bit we save not only benefits our planet but also reduces our utility bills and conserves our resources for future generations.
Fun Activity Alert! 🎉
This week, let's embark on the 'Energy Savers Challenge!' Here's how it works:
- Switch-Off Sprint: Every day, at two random times, we'll send out an alert. Upon receiving it, take a minute to turn off any non-essential lights, gadgets, or equipment around you. It’s a quick sprint to see how much we can conserve in a minute!
- Daylight Day: Choose a day this week where we use natural daylight in our workspaces, avoiding artificial lights. It’ll not only save energy but also give our eyes a break from harsh lights.
- Temperature Tweak: For those at the office, we'll raise the thermostat by just one degree. It might sound minor, but when done collectively, it can save a lot of energy. For those at home, give it a try too and relish the savings!
Track your savings, share photos, or any unique conservation methods you use. Let's make energy conservation fun and impactful! The team with the most creative and effective energy-saving methods will be spotlighted at the end of the week.
Let’s harness our collective power to make a real difference. Here’s to a greener and more sustainable future!
Cheers,
People Team 🌍🌱
Hi all,
In honor of Energy Conservation Day, let's be more mindful of our utility usage. Remember, conserving energy isn't just about saving money; it's also about preserving our planet's limited resources.
Here's what we can do:
- Switch off or unplug appliances and computers when not in use.
- Opt for cold water washes for your clothes.
- Think about switching to LED lights—they're efficient and long-lasting.
- Adjust your thermostat—keep it higher in summer and lower in winter. Dress comfortably to complement this!
Everyone's effort counts. If you've got more energy-saving tips, we'd love to hear them!

How to highlight Energy Conservation Day to employees
Energy Conservation Day, marked annually on December 14th, focuses on raising awareness about the importance of energy efficiency and conservation. The initiative began in India, aiming to drive national attention towards the increasing challenges of climate change and the need for sustainable energy consumption practices. This day serves as a reminder to individuals and organizations alike about the impact of their energy use on the planet and encourages the adoption of cleaner, more energy-efficient technologies and habits.
In the workplace, Energy Conservation Day can be a catalyst for implementing energy-saving practices that contribute to a more sustainable business operation. Celebrating this day sends a message to employees about the company's dedication to environmental stewardship and can inspire collective action towards reducing the organization's carbon footprint. It also aligns with broader goals of corporate social responsibility by demonstrating a commitment to global climate action.
To celebrate Energy Conservation Day at work, consider these initiatives:
- Conduct an energy audit to identify opportunities for energy savings within the office.
- Host seminars or workshops or provide quick tips to educate employees about energy conservation.
- Encourage carpooling, use of public transportation, or cycling to work on this day.
- Initiate 'switch off' campaigns to turn off unused lights and electronics.
- Organize a 'green day' where employees can share ideas for energy efficiency in the office.
