G2K wants rating system for plumbing and appliances

Generation 2000 (G2K), the young professional affiliate of the Jamaica Labour Party (JLP), is calling on the Bureau of Standards to develop local waterefficiency standards and ratings for plumbing and appliances.

Stephen Edwards, president of G2K, said “…that standard has to be developed so that we can label our products based on water efficiency, so that you arm

the consumer with the information to make the right choice that will not only be beneficial to the environment, but beneficial to their pockets as well”.

The call was made at the organisation’s policy forum, titled ‘Water Management – A Partnership in Climate Change Resilience’, which was held at The Spanish Court Hotel last Thursday.
