United Nations Gives Everyone More Reasons to Go Green

Looking for more reasons to turn your business green?

The United Nations calls on governments, business and civil societies alike to further their efforts in enhancing their respective energy efficiency. The organization believes that such efforts can greatly impact in the reduction of energy consumption and greenhouse gases. It has also been proven that green efforts, though may appear costly at the beginning, can help greatly in producing sustainable savings for the organizations. Using a scrolling LED sign can be a step closer to achieving this goal.

An infographic jointly published by The United Nations and Sustainable Energy For All provides us with a number of reasons to move towards the big change.

Here are some of the important points stated in the creatively made visual:

  • -- Global energy consumption may rise to 33 percent between 2010 and 2035
  • -- Global energy-related carbon dioxide emissions may increase by 20 percent come 2035
  • -- Equipment maintenance, thermostat settings and upgrades can significantly lower emissions by about 50 percent
  • -- An annual investment of $ 170 billion in energy efficiency efforts world wide can yield a return of about 17 percent.
  • -- Efficient improvement of buildings can produce annual savings on the energy consumption of the United States, Russia, India and Africa joined together
  • -- The addition of new technology or features to the Empire State Building can reduce energy by as much as 40 percent
  • -- Energy efficient appliances can generate savings amounting to taking 48 million cars off the roads of the United States

  • -- Energy savings generated from Chinese, Indian and Russian industries accounted for a 48 percent decrease in energy intensity
