www.JustParking.co.uk: At 7.30pm on 31 March 2007, Sydneysiders - businesses and individuals - turned off their lights for just one hour, Earth Hour, as a sign of their commitment to reduce global warming.
Earth Hour is just the start of a campaign that aims to reduce Sydney's greenhouse emissions by 5% in 2007. The event will demonstrate how simple actions can make the world of difference if everyone takes part. And it sends a powerful message that we care about the future of the planet.
The Earth Hour initiative got us to thinking that even mundane items such as airport parking meters could also join in the fight against global warming as they also have power and cabling requirements that contribute to global warming.
Nearly 90% of parking meter manufacturing company, Parkeon's customer base now opt for solar powered parking meters.
In Europe, Parkeon offers the Varioflex™ range of pay-on-foot systems for off-street parking. This comprises automatic and manual pay stations, car park entry / exit terminals and barriers.
Could this mean the end of the airport parking attendant?
Solar-powered parking machines are not only environmentally friendly and use a source of free solar energy, but are also quick and easy to install. Excavations are minimal, as there is no cabling required, and they do not require the involvement of the power companies, which saves time, connection charges and administration.
The next question is; "With the widespread implementation of solar powered parking meters will parking become cheaper?"
There is one sure way of ensuring a cheaper parking rate at all airports in the United Kingdom, though, book in advance with Just Parking.
