Dutch government lowers temperature in all public buildings by 2 degrees to reduce dependency on Russian gas

Dutch authorities have decided to lower the temperature in all public sector buildings by 2 degrees to make the country less dependent on Russian gas.

“Our energy bills are increasing, we must become less dependent on Russian gas, and we want to fight climate change,” an announcement from the government, mentioned by the news agency ANP on Saturday, noted.

The authorities have launched an advertising campaign in which residents are encouraged to lower the temperature at home to a maximum of 19 degrees.

“Wear a warm jacket or sweater, socks, and slippers,” the message reads.
