Background

Conservation of energy and sustainable resource management are chronic issues for communities globally, and India is no different. Charities and underserved communities often have unique obstacles to the implementation of best practices in these spaces. This is further constrained by limited access to information, suitable infrastructure, and, most importantly, finances. This can prevent them from achieving efficiency, minimizing their environmental impact, and developing long-term resilience. Thereby, finding efficient and cost-effective approaches to energy and water conservation is imperative. This holds for these organizations and the communities they impact, affecting everything from operational costs to environmental health.

There is a clear need for real-world, scalable solutions, particularly given the potential of renewable power and waste management to re-engineer daily functions. But without special interventions that offer educational resources and real assistance, these good practices are inaccessible to most. Re:Source has been established to fill these particular gaps. By targeting essential energy requirements and sustainable procedures, Re:Source is working to enable small businesses and charities, equipping them to overcome current barriers to the practical application of conservation techniques.

Re:Source is a project conceived specifically to break down barriers to best practice for energy saving for charities and disadvantaged groups. By focusing its activity on improving access to information and equipment for energy and water saving, Re:Source aims to mitigate adverse environmental impacts and promote long-term sustainability for these critical community cornerstones.
