Our Sustainability Challenge...

How might we go beyond energy-efficient lightbulbs to support sustainable energy?

Our Sustainability campaign aims to...

Allow people, specifically the younger generation and students, to understand the importance of sustainable energy, how they can achieve it, and their current energy usage.

Our Moral Imperative...

This challenge is very important to us as individuals because in the world we currently live in, we consume large amounts of energy everyday. Learning about sustainable usage can also impact how we live and our lifestyles to achieve a better, longer future.

Our Campaign serves/benefits the UTS community by...

Helping them learn about sustainable energy usage to hopefully reduce their energy use. This can help both the environment we live in and also reduce the energy bills in everyone's households.

The Sustainable Development Goal(s) our campaign addresses...

7: Affordable and clean energy

11: Sustainable cities and communities

12: Responsible consumption and production (of energy)

13: Climate action

Events or Activities that you'd like to engage the UTS community in?

Join us in the change-making! Let's work together to support sustainable development in this area.

Motion Sensing Lights

You can install motion sensing lights in your house instead of the normal ones so that they will turn off whenever they are not being used, which will save you money and electricity.

Solar Panels

Although solar panels cost more money up front, they save a lot more in the long run. The average home can save in between $10,000-$30,000 by using one solar panel system.

Energy Forums

Attending energy forums can be a great way to learn about energy consumption and sustainable use. An upcoming energy forum in Toronto is the "Energy Innovation Forum Canada" Energy Innovation Forum Canada 2022 Registration, Mon, 19 Sep 2022 at 8:30 AM | Eventbrite

Here's what you should know

Below is some information about how this problem is manifesting in world, and some real-world examples.

Non-Renewable Energy

The most common type of non-renewable energy in the world is fossil fuels, which are currently being rapidly depleted. Like their name, these types of energy cannot be renewed or regenerated.

Increasing Energy Consumption

An example of our rapidly increasing energy usage is provided in statistics by OECD (The Organization for Economic Co-operation). It states that in 1994, there was a total increase of 30% in the past 20 years, and this number will only continue to rise.
