Switzerland’s energy minister, Simonetta Sommaruga, recommends showering for two and rejects criticism of the campaign launched to save electricity, informs the Swiss publication Blick. She admits that although showering for two after a certain age is no longer “comfortable”, and the proposal must be taken very seriously.
In an interview, Simonetta Sommaruga talked about the measures that should be followed to get through the winter more easily, with less energy consumption. It tells people to reduce the heating in their homes, turn off the lights after the end of working hours, but also to unplug electronic equipment. At the same time, she recommends showering for two. Regarding the latter proposal, she says that it is very serious, although “many had fun”.
“I know that showering for two is no longer comfortable for everyone after a certain age,” she pointed out, talking about the fact that many had fun with the topic. Simonetta Sommaruga says that she too has changed her behavior at the office. “We turn off all the lights when we finish work in the office. All devices can be disconnected from the network with the push of a button. Our campaign came at just the right time. People are back from vacation. And soon the cold season will begin. It is a difficult time for everyone. Russia is waging an energy war against Europe and, therefore, also against Switzerland,” says Sommaruga, according to stiripesource.ro.
