DAR Pangasinan cares for the environment!

DAR Pangasinan formulates an Energy Efficiency and Conservation Program (EECP) as a way to care for the environment as well as in solidarity with the Philippine Government Energy Management Program (GEMP). The office released guidelines that promote mindful ways of using electricity and fuel while on-duty in hopes of reducing overall energy consumption by at least 10%.

Some of the energy-saving methods under the enhanced implementation of the EECP include planning trips and following regular preventive maintenance, scheduling the use of air conditioning units, and maximizing information technology for paperless transactions.

Last year, the office similarly banned the use of single-use plastics in a bid to protect the immediate environment from plastic pollution. (zarena ann amado) ###
