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 express and the local
Express trains run less often, make fewer stops, and if they're going where you're going, get you there faster. The local train is, of course, the opposite. Some people hop on the first train that comes. A local in the...
Gaztelugatxe
There's an island off the coast of Spain that houses a church. The church has 230 steps to the top, and it's said that it's worth the climb. What a great expression. Gaztelugatxe can now mean, "it's a lot of...
