At the time this publication was being sent to press I was invited to give a lecture on climate change and market trends in Latin America; the scenario: the meeting of Honeywell's controls and automation division for Latin America.
In the middle of a message that he was trying to share with those present and that was nothing more than the recapitulation of everything that has been disseminated by multiple news media, a reflection appeared from one of those present in the sense that it would be important to know the individual impact of the citizen in this phenomenon.
At this point, every human being has a deep responsibility to the planet, which must lead to actions that can be built by analyzing how the measures implemented in the commercial and industrial field can be adapted to the residential plan. In this sense, actions such as replacing old refrigerators with new, more efficient units can be validated, as well as disconnecting appliances for example when they are not being used, as this generates heat and therefore CO2 emissions into the atmosphere.
I know that the issue of replacing domestic refrigerators can be somewhat complex due to the economic conditions of our countries, but it is here that governments come to play a preponderant role beyond discussing the issue with large corporations. The case of the FIDE program in Mexico, where the replacement of equipment by more efficient units was financed, is an example that may well be transferred to the domestic sphere.
It's not easy, but it's not impossible either. Utilities can usually give information on how to consume less electrical energy in homes.
