Communities bring people together, but in order to grow strong, they must share common ground, objectives or interests. Sustainability is a mounting concern that needs to be addressed, and many are looking to make positive contributions to sustainable change. In small communities, a collective effort can help to build community sustainability whilst bringing together the community at the same time. By embracing renewable energy sources, effective resource management and conservation practices, and fostering a culture of environmental responsibility, communities can make meaningful changes for the better.
We’ll be exploring the importance of sustainability, how to build community sustainability, and how communities can benefit from Altogether Group’s sustainable solutions.
Following decades of damage to the environment and the exploitation of natural resources, sustainability is crucial to ensure the future wellbeing of both our planet and future generations. However, sustainable practices go far beyond environmental responsibility, they also have an impact on the economy and social equity too.
For small communities, sustainability allows them to become more self-sufficient and resilient in the face of anything from small incidents to global catastrophes. By focusing on renewable energy sources and water conservation, small communities can reduce their dependence on external resources, and promote sustainable practices to contribute towards a positive future.
At Altogether Group, it is our mission to help communities be more sustainable with our utility solutions. From renewable energy solutions that create clean energy to recycled water systems that prevent the wastage of clean drinking water, Altogether Group empowers communities to take control of their energy needs and reduce their environmental footprint. Delivering solutions to over 25,000 customers across Australia through our local teams in Brisbane, Gold Coast and Sydney, we help communities to put frameworks into place that can serve as a base from which additional sustainable practices can be implemented.
Building sustainable communities involves more than just sustainable solutions, but also creating an environment that supports education and growth. Through our Academy, we host workshops that empower those involved in residential communities. These interactive sessions are led by industry professionals who provide valuable information for strata managers, body corporates, and developers, addressing issues like embedded network management, renewable energy, and the rights residents have regarding their energy supply. Our workshops can be used as a step to further equipment communities with the knowledge and skills to make informed decisions about their energy solutions.
Altogether Group offers several utility solutions for communities that are looking to become more sustainable. From embedded network solutions that promote efficient energy use through smart metering, overall energy consumption can be drastically reduced. We also offer rooftop solar systems, heating and cooling systems, generators, EV charging, and battery energy storage systems (BESS) that can give communities everything they need to stay up and running whilst keeping control in their hands.
In addition to sustainability, our solutions offer several other benefits too. As our embedded energy services use energy bought in bulk that is passed on for common power usage at cost, communities can benefit from power without fees or markup. This can allow for resources to be allocated elsewhere to help benefit the community, including spreading awareness about the importance of sustainability. Additionally, as we give communities the power to choose their retailer without barriers or meter upgrade costs, communities that aren’t self-sufficient can choose to source power from renewable sources.
By implementing our sustainability solutions, communities across Australia can learn about the importance of sustainability and create futures where environmental responsibility, economic prosperity and social well-being can be achieved together.
