Using Sunlight to Lower Bills for Low- to Moderate-Income Families

It’s important to Monica Sirri to cook for her family — including her three adult children and four grandchildren — when they visit every weekend. “It’s the main thing to stay together,” Sirri said. “I have proof, because they love me and stay with me.” But she feels bad that she has to ask her family to not turn on the air conditioning during extreme temperatures in their Van Nuys, California, home. “It’s hard for us to pay in the summer and winter, but we need air conditioning and lights,” she said. And it’s even harder since Sirri’s husband has a disability and Sirri has gone from working full time to part time so that she can take care of him.

Kimberly-Clark and Deltares Use Science-Based Tools and a Local Approach to Bring Collective Action at the Basin Level

In 2018, after a three-year drought, Cape Town, South Africa, became the first major city to come within days of running out of water. As “Day Zero” approached, residents were limited to 50 liters of water a day. Businesses had to evolve processes to reduce water usage.
The Kimberly-Clark Epping mill is located just outside of Cape Town. The company knew that if Cape Town ran out of water it would be a threat to the business. Even more, it would be a threat to the surrounding community and Kimberly-Clark’s employees’ way of life.
