Sustainability Solutions to Share with Linchpins # 67

I’m sharing “million dollar” creative sustainability ideas.

You can have them for free.

Be a Linchpin. Develop something: ship, ship, ship!

Hot Water:

If you use a water heater, you are wasting water and energy, just keeping all that water heated throughout the many hours it’s not being used and waiting for it to reach the point of use.

If you heat your water with a tankless/on-demand heat exchange system you’re still probably wasting water, waiting for the hot water to reach you.

Where’s the Linchpin opportunity?

Somewhere in the middle there’s got to be an opportunity for improvement.

In the meantime, try to turn the faucet from hot to cold BEFORE you’re don drawing that hot water.

Otherwise, there’s a few gallons of water in the line that’s been heated that won’t be used…it’s just going to cool down.

Simple. Beautiful. Elegant. Hot! Sustainable!

The struggle is real
Once a computer (or a player piano) begins to do a task, part of the appeal goes away. Yes, the goods or services might be identical, but the story we tell ourselves about what they took to create disappears. Effort is insufficient, but extraordinary effort (and our perception of that effort) can add value.
Diving boards
The leap at the swimming pool is obvious indeed. Ten steps up the ladder. The wait at the end of the board. The moment in between not-diving and diving. The leap is clear. We can see it and we can feel it. In day to day life, we have worked to eliminate that feeling. Organizations […]
