“欢迎来到智利，请解下你的领带”，这是智利政府的最新口号。为推广节能，智利近日推出新举措，呼吁男士解下领带，以减少空调用电。位于南半球的智利正迎来夏季，随着温度不断升高，近日智利能源部长推出节能新点子——“夏天，请解下你的领带”，这样就可以将室内温度上调1-3度，减少空调使用，从而减少超过3%的用电开支，在4个月的夏季一共能省下1000万美元(6373万人民币)。 为响应这一号召，智利几名政府官员还拍了一段视频，示范解下领带、解开衬衫的第一颗扣子。有官员表示将保持这种着装方式，仅在非常正式的会议场合才会系领带。 It's the Chilean government's latest slogan: Welcome to Chile, take off your tie. But it's not an invitation to sit down and relax – it's a call to save energy. As the summer kicks off in the southern hemisphere, Chile's energy ministry this week launched the campaign, "In summer, take off your tie" in an effort to save $10 million in four months. The thinking goes something like this: If buildings use less air conditioning – letting temperatures rise between one and three degrees Celsius – energy costs could go down by over 3 percent, representing million-dollar savings. "This small measure will help the country's energy efficiency. Reducing the use of air conditioning will lead to energy savings," energy minister Rodrigo Alvarez said in a statement (in Spanish). |
