We are FCC Nº21

The climate crisis has accelerated af- ter the COVID-19 pandemic and, as the United Nations (UN) points out, humanity is partly responsible for the devastating and extreme meteorologi- cal phenomena that are occurring all over the planet due to global warming. A large part of the solution to this pro- blem lies in the hands of the popula- tion, through the choice of simple ac- tions that contribute to improving the health of the planet, reducing, preven- ting or mitigating climate change. Are we as sustainable as we think we are? To check your level of sustainability, Aqualia invites you to go to www.el- primerretodelaño.com and complete a simple test with 10 quick questions about your daily habits. As a result, the Sustainability Meter will reveal what le- vel of sustainability these habits imply - from needs improvement, acceptable, sustainable to super-sustainable. Through this action, Aqualia invites citizens to reflect on the importance of eradicating certain everyday be- haviours that are not sustainable. On the contrary, the campaign encoura- ges people to adopt other behaviours that have a positive impact on the en- vironment and that save water and/or energy, contributing to achieving the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The Sustainability Metre: the test that tells you how to make your daily habits more sustainable Positive impact on the environment Through this initiative, Aqualia wants to show how, with the sum of many small daily habits, it is possible to achieve extraordinary results and have a positive impact on the immediate en- vironment. Water is fundamental for develop- ment and can be a driver of change to promote a fairer society, the main challenge of the SDGs. As the first company in the sector to be certified by AENOR in the achievement of the SDGs, Aqualia invites you to go one step further and move towards a more sustainable future. I WANT TO COMPLETE THE SUSTAINABILITY METER! Most of the questions in the Sustainability Meter are linked to the use of water: Do you take showers instead of baths; do you use the ECO programme in your household appliances; do you use water flow reducers on taps? This goes up to about 70 ques- tions that will be randomly pre- sented in each test in groups of ten. The higher the level of sus- tainability, the more “sustaina- bility points” are accumulated.
