EMBASSY NICOSIA GREENING IS CHEAP!

The U.S. Embassy in Nicosia has taken not only several “green” steps, but also achieved major cost-cuts and benefitted the environment. They have reduced energy consumption throughout the Chancery by only using desk lamps and fluorescent bulbs for lighting and reduced residential heating fuel by 50%. They planted drought-resistant plants, pooled printers, and installed reflective window film. They distributed utility bills to the residents and established a “Green Award” for those who lower their costs the most. It’s not too late! Follow in Nicosia’s foot-steps and not only will you benefit, but so will your children.
