Identify quick wins to reduce your technology consumption

Quick wins refer to easy, low-cost actions that deliver immediate or near-term benefits. As they require minimal planning or investment, it makes them a great starting point for settings with limited time and budget. They can also lay the foundation for more comprehensive, long-term environmental initiatives.

This action requires you to identify unnecessary or wasteful consumption of technology and equipment in your day to day operations. For example, this might include avoiding unnecessary upgrades, reducing the number of devices issued or promoting device sharing. Prevent overuse of printing devices, and underuse or inefficient use of interactive technology, such as interactive whiteboards.

By focusing on small, visible actions across consumption hotspots you will be able to show immediate results, motivating your community to support and engage in future sustainability efforts. This approach can decrease technology waste, and also result in cost savings that can then be reinvested into further sustainability projects.

This is a fantastic way to set a positive example to your staff and learners, influencing behaviours and values to foster a culture of sustainability.
