Turn off the lights – Save Energy

As part of the HYGEIA Group’s Corporate Social Responsibility initiatives, and specifically the actions concerning the ENVIRONMENT, we commenced a campaign on 2011,  to raise awareness for the most efficient management of the energy consumed in our hospitals, aiming, among other things, to include our patients and visitors in this effort.  For this reason, posters were put up in various areas of the HYGEIA and MITERA hospitals, appealing to the staff to turn off the lights, as well as stickers on light-switches.

Today, many people around us are taking a simple first step in significantly improving their lives and the lives of their children: they are saving energy! They turn off the lights when they are not needed, they unplug electrical devices when they are not in use, they replace conventional lamps with energy-efficient/environmental ones, and they use air-conditioning only whenever it is necessary, always keeping the temperature at 26 degrees Celsius. By saving energy, we reduce the need of burning fossil fuel to produce it. By saving energy, we ensure that we are changing our present and our future. And all this by doing something simple: turning off the lights!
