Welcome to Energy Efficiency Week! Energy efficiency supports Norfolk’s Climate Action Plan to cut greenhouse gas emissions and create a sustainable future. Whether you're at home, work or around the city, energy efficiency helps save money and reduce environmental impact.
Start the week off with an easy energy-saving tip: switch to electronic documents. This simple change not only cuts down on waste but also reduces the demand for paper products. Paper production requires significantly more energy and resources than creating electronic documents.
