Ukraine is known to be one of the least energy efficient countries in the world. Around 40–60% of the energy produced is wasted and the majority of it by communal buildings and houses. Shocked by these facts Climate Advocates in Ukraine decided to act by informing representatives from schools, universities, orphanages, NGOs and students on ways in which they can decrease energy consumption and increase energy efficiency. To achieve this goal a series of events were held in Lviv: a seminar on "Energy saving-practical experience", an Energy City Quest and a "Ecotruth", a theatre forum during March.

Ukraine is known to be one of the least energy efficient countries in the world. Around 40–60% of the energy produced is wasted and the majority of it by communal buildings and houses. In a building around 40% of heating is wasted through windows and doors, 15% through walls and 7% through floors and ceilings. Heating of the buildings consumes one fourth of the fuel used by the whole country, 80% of which is used by apartment buildings. Moreover, up to 10–40% of electricity could be saved by each household.

Shocked by these facts Climate Advocates in Ukraine decided to act by informing representatives from schools, universities, orphanages, NGOs and students on ways in which they can decrease energy consumption and increase energy efficiency. To achieve this goal a series of events were held in Lviv: a seminar on "Energy saving-practical experience", an Energy City Quest and "Ecotruth", a theatre forum during March.

Energy saving advice to all the participants was: insulate or change your windows, doors, walls, roofs; install metres on hot and cold water and the heating; install thermostats on radiators and don’t cover them with furniture that prevents free air floating; buy electrical supplies with the label of energy saving ‘A’; use energy saving lamps; switch off lightning and equipment when not in use. Also consider using renewable sources of energy.

The advocates have been working on the initiative with various project partners:
The Association of Energy Efficient Cities
Rivne Ecoclub
Green Office concept

A brochure on How to Keep Your House Warm has also been produced.

Performance by Forum Theatre "Ecotruth".
