Billion Litre Challenge
The goal |
|
|
|
|
| |
To encourage the
widespread
implementation of water
and energy
efficient showerheads
across South Africa. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Why ? |
|
|
|
|
| |
Here in South Africa, electricity and water are becoming increasingly scarce and
expensive, causing financial hardship and major environmental problems. The national
electricity grid is teetering on the brink. Climate change is beginning to affect everyone.
The
Billion Litre Challenge addresses these
issues. It is about you and me standing
up and saying “Together, we can make a difference”. Proudly South African, giving all
our children the chance of a future.

|
|
|
|
| |
How ? |
|
|
|
|
| |
We are challenging corporates to
participate in the
'Billion Litre
Challenge'.
This means investing in
all or part of a
'Billion Challenge Unit'
(15 000 eco-showerheads -
capital cost R3 million).
These showerheads may be
subsidised to employees
or may be sponsored for
low cost solar geyser
rollout projects.
In this way, utility
costs for employees and
the low waged will be
slashed and the most
efficient use of solar
geysers is assured. |

Annual Savings from each "Billion
Litre Unit'
(15 000
showerheads) |

-
Sixty million Rand
-
on
household
utility
costs
-
One
billion litres of water
-
sufficient
to fill
36 000
swimming
pools
-
40 million kiloWatt hours of electricity - enough to power almost
10 000 average South
African homes for a year
-
45 tons
of
carbon
emissions
-
equivalent
to that
produced
per year
by 13
000 cars
-
- with
the
reduction
in
associated
groundwater
and air
pollution
-
-
not
entering
our
failing
water
treatment
plants

We have created the concept of the
Billion
Litre Challenge, having identified the enormous benefits, through simple actions,
that a widespread change in habit can achieve.
Participating
corporates will be seen as being truly supportive of sustainable
environmental initiatives, simultaneously fulfilling their
legal,
social and environmental
obligations

Every purchase and installation of a water
and power saving eco-showerhead will help to
achieve the goal. Play your part by
participating in the Billion Litre Challenge.
