Take time to explain conservation techniques to colleagues from other countries or cultures


Problem: It may be difficult to bridge language or cultural barriers to explain conservation to people from other countries, so no measures are requested.

Solution: Take a little time to explain conservation and get some written material describing your intent. Most scientists can read English very well even if they can’t speak fluently.

Benefits: Energy savings and awareness can be universal and you may gain a strong friend.

Costs: A little awkwardness at first, and 15- 20 minutes.
