Look after yourself, look after your environment

ON•TAP stocks product-ranges that benefit the customer, as well as the environment, like the Hansgrohe Crometta 85 Green Shower Head.

From the Black Forest in Germany, comes something so environmentally conscious that it's scary to think that most homes still use old fashioned, water-wasting shower heads.

The Hansgrohe Crometta 85 Green has an 85 mm diameter shower face, which generously wets the body when showering. The Hansgrohe Crometta 85 Green makes use of EcoSmart Technology, which is a combination of clever flow regulation and central air intake - nice, but what does this mean? It reduces water consumption by up to 60%, regardless of the pressure. Even when the shower is opened on full, a maximum of six liters of water per minute flows through the cleverly designed Crometta 85 Green Shower Unit. As warm water is usually used for showering, this saves a lot of valuable water resources and energy.

The Hansgrohe Crometta 85 Green Shower Head is available at ON•TAP. Visit your nearest ON•TAP showroom to see more.

How to reduce your carbon footprint at work

Be a hero and help save the planet by making simple lifestyle changes. Here are some environmentally consciousness ways that you can incorporate to reduce your carbon footprint at work:

• Always turn off unnecessary lights during the day and turn off all lights at night. Lighting an empty office overnight can waste the amount of energy required to heat water for 1000 cups of coffee!
• Shut down computers overnight and use power saving options. Turn off unused machines at the plug. Appliances continue to draw electricity on stand by.
• An initial investment in tele- and video-conferencing facilities will reduce the need for flights, saving money, time and carbon emissions.
• Print less. Always print 2 pages per sheet or print on both sides of the paper. Go to Print, click on Properties, and choose Page layout: 2 pages per sheet OR go to Print, click on Properties, click on Finishing and choose Print Style: 2-sided printing.
• Optimise paper use. Change the margins on your word documents for more words on a page. Click on File, and choose Page set up and change the margins to 2 cm.
• Only buy recycled paper or paper from FSC certified sources. The FSC label ensures that the paper comes from responsible sources.
• Clean travel. Organise a car pool to work, or even better, cycle to the office.
• Recycle your e-waste. Electronic waste is the term used to describe old, end-of-life or discarded appliances that use electricity. It includes computers, consumer electronics, fridges etc. Visit www.e-waste.org.za to learn how to recycle your office’s e-waste.
• Water wise. Don’t serve bottled water at meetings. It takes 3 litres of water to 
produce 1 litre of bottled water. Promote tap water.
• ‘Green’ procurement. As far as possible, choose eco friendly products or services that aim to have the minimum impact on the environment.
