London, November 4 (ANI): A Government body in the UK is urging firms to appoint tea monitors so as to ensure that people do not waste water.
Envirowise, funded by the Department for Environment Food and Rural Affairs, suggests that firms use teapots instead of making individual cups of tea, and try to re-introduce tea urns to the workplace.
The agency is of the opinion that such a step could cut greenhouse gas emissions, and thereby help business houses save money.
Envirowise reckons that more than 30 billion cups of water are unnecessarily boiled each year.
