It is Time to Adopt An Energy Reduction Strategic Plan
Energy costs are going to drive an increase in costs at every level of an organization. The costs of goods purchased will be effected by the cost of energy. I have provided below a few ways that nonprofit organizations can begin to design a Strategic Plan to address the effects of the energy crisis on their costs and to implement measures to be less effected or harmed by an energy crisis.
Invest in technology for teleconferencing for meetings and consultation.
Join or create Cooperatives for group purchasing
Implement telecommuting and flex scheduling for employees
Install alternative energy sources for heat and cooling
Renovate facilities to be more efficient
Purchase fuel efficient vehicles
Grow some of your own food and learn how to preserve the perishables.
