  12. What kind of measures can you take to make your house more sustainable? Saving Energy: LED lights Don’t pre-heat Turn off your electronics and lights when not used Hang clothes out to dry Use a lower setting for your washing machine Saving water: Shower instead of taking a bath Turn off the tap when not in use Other ways to help environment: Eat better quality meat Don’t use plastic grocery bags

  15. How do you change people’s behaviour? The costs • LED lights: €11 per room • Recycling rainwater: €4000 for 4 persons • Double glazed glass: €500 per glass. • Vegetable garden: €100 per year • Share a car: €30 once and then € 0,15 per Kilometre.

  16. How do you motivate young people towards changing their attitudes? • Information at school • Make the school sustainable • Do fundraisers in schools • A game about the environment • An idea: Bicycle cellphone charger: €25

Netherlands: it’s called white bikes and you only have them in Amsterdam. • Probably: €0,50 per 10 minutes

What does the energyefficientneighbourhood of the future look like? • There will be events to advise the community about how to be sustainable. • Most people will be travelling by bike, using public transportation or the ‘To Go Car’ • They will try to save energy by making their houses more sustainable using the previous methods (insulation, double glazing glass, windmills) • Everyone will separate their garbage – e.g. plastics, glass • Chargers for the electric cars will be everywhere

  20. Conclusion: How are we going to introducesustainablity in Haarlem? • We have to organise public events to inform people and make them more aware of sustainability • Introduce electric buses • Promote locals products so there will be less CO2 emission because of reduced transport
