Policy Intervention
Training and educating individuals on the various energy-saving techniques is one of the policies that can be adopted by the government to ensure that there is a reduction in energy consumption without increasing taxes. This is considered one of the appropriate ways to create awareness of energy consumption. It tends to be essential in adopting proper techniques to introduce energy into different mill operations.
The policy intervention chosen involves coming up with different forums and education platforms that would facilitate other individuals’ training. Therefore, this entails educating individuals on the various tools that could be used to reduce carbon emissions, save money, and improve efficiency. There is also quality training from the industry experts dealing with the energy conservations and the various tutors.
How the intervention works
The intervention can be carried out by adopting energy management courses that can be available online or availed as classroom courses. Such classroom courses could be provided through the adoption of virtual blended delivery and are deemed to provide a platform in which the classroom courses could be provided without the need to travel to various venues, which will, in turn, save on the budget. This also makes it easier to learn from the multiple delegates across the world and learn by asking and answering questions in different sessions.
Psychological mechanism
According to psychology, most individuals tend to engage in strategies that they feel tend to allow them to consume little energy. Therefore, the adopted mechanism in this scenario is the theory of learning that provides for the need for optimal arousal of the behavior. Thus, through learning, individuals tend to react negatively whenever there is the adoption of strategies that do not facilitate energy consumption.
