\"Sustainable<\/span><\/p>\n

In 2017, there are many different ways to practice sustainable living at home. Individuals often use less water<\/a>, think twice about who they are purchasing goods from, and reuse as many things as possible. Recycling at home also falls under the sustainable living umbrella, and is a relatively easy thing to do. Most communities offer their residents different ways to recycle paper, plastics, metals and used electronics, and many individuals actively use those resources.<\/span><\/p>\n

Recycling<\/b><\/h4>\n

Recycling at home is an easy way to contribute to creating an environmentally sustainable community. However, if you were at a San Diego local park or beach, it wouldn\u2019t be so easy as your recycling options would be extremely limited. Keep America Beautiful (KAB), a nonprofit organization that educates and encourages individuals to take care of their local environment, found that \u201conly 12 percent of surveyed public locations had recycling infrastructure in place to recover the containers.” <\/span><\/p>\n

KAB and the Dr. Pepper Snapple Group (DPS) have developed a partnership that offers grants to local governments and community organizations to help them purchase new recycling bins. In its fifth year, the program has awarded 3,400 recycling bins to organizations in 38 states. Vicki Draughn, vice president of corporate affairs for DPS, explained that \u201cproviding choices and options is central to our commitment to our consumers. That not only means making and selling a wide range of the brands they love but also increasing the convenient recycling options available to them in their favorite parks and community spaces.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

Placing additional recycling bins in public spaces such as parks, stadiums, airports, building lobbies and office break rooms is a great way to keep building sustainable communities in San Diego.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Sustainable<\/b><\/h4>\n

Energy<\/b><\/h4>\n

A different, but just as important, approach to reducing the use of important resources is to consider different ways to decrease energy consumption, especially in the office environment. Reevaluating the different types of equipment and appliances, such as computer monitors, copy machines, and vending machines, from an energy usage point-of-view will provide a more complete picture of the cost of each item. Choosing equipment that meets Energy Star ratings will not only lower electricity costs over the life of the machine, but it will also use less energy. That\u2019s a plus for both the company\u2019s bottom-line and the environment.<\/span><\/p>\n

Another way to decrease energy usage is to determine which type of light bulbs are currently being used. Switching away from incandescent and fluorescent bulbs to light-emitting diode (LED) light bulbs will not only decrease energy consumption but will also likely decrease energy costs. Unlike most lighting features that turn off when not in use, lighting in vending equipment remains on. Compared to other types of light bulbs in vending machines<\/a>, LED light bulbs emit light in a specific direction without substantial loss of light, and emit less overall heat\u2014two positive features. The U.S. Department of Energy states that \u201ctoday\u2019s LED bulbs can be six-seven times more energy efficient than conventional incandescent lights and cut energy use by more than 80 percent.” Regardless of how you look at it, that\u2019s a positive impact. <\/span><\/p>\n
