Tuusula joins the Astetta alemmas energy saving campaign

Energy conservation now and in the future The need to move away from fossil

fuels, which has been highlighted by Russia’s military actions, has made energy conservation an even more important goal. Everyone must now take special responsibility for conserving energy.

The Tuusula Green Council Group proposes that Tuusula join the energy saving campaign “Astetta alemmas” (One degree lower), created in cooperation with the Ministry of Employment and the Economy, the Energy Authority, Motiva, the Prime Minister’s Office, the Ministry of the Environment and Sitra. 
Tuusula must plan and implement energy-saving measures with the safety and health of its residents in mind. It is important to actively communicate these measures to residents.

The municipality of Tuusula should also use the energy saving campaign to encourage businesses and residents to join the campaign and involve residents in coming up with ideas for saving energy. The municipality’s own example, active communication and encouragement of residents are of great importance in dealing with the energy crisis. Saving energy also has a direct impact on the municipality’s operating budget. It

is now important to respond to the acute energy crisis, but at the same time, longer-term energy-saving measures must be planned and implemented, and the use of renewable energy in municipal properties must be increased. The joint climate work of the Kuuma municipalities should be actively continued, even though Tuusula is developing its own climate programme. The climate change adaptation guidelines on the Kuuma climate pages date from 2013 and need to be updated in one form or another.
