Enigin Distributors Would Encourage Losing The Cheerleaders To Save The World!

Enigin Distributors Would Encourage Losing The Cheerleaders To Save The World!

Professional baseball in South Korea is planning to go green by installing electricity-saving equipment to reduce energy use, but that is not all.

With a nod back to a popular television program - that suggested saving the cheerleader would save the world - the opposite could be said to be true in South Korea, because baseballs cheerleaders are being cut from "half-time" entertainment in the interests of saving energy, money and the planet.

To save time on the field and thus reduce energy use they plan to phase-out the "half-time", during which players take a five-minute break, the field is cleaned and cheerleaders entertain the crowd.

New lighting systems designed to use less power and installation of solar panels are two of the more traditional energy saving measures, but they will be not be reducing the number of night games.

As far as game play is concerned they plan to reduce that as well, the pitchers will be timed to deliver the ball to the plate quickly. With new rules stating that a pitch must be thrown within 12 seconds after the batter is set in the box.

A pitcher will be warned for a first tardy delivery and batters will earn a 'ball' in the strike count for each subsequent late pitch.

As they install an Eniscope, Enigin Distributors need to educate their clients that behavioral change is vital to saving energy in a no or low-cost way.

If the workforce in an organization contributes to the way simple energy saving measures take place, like switching off unused computers, the Eniscope will show them and the management the amount of energy and money they are saving.

At the baseball grounds the Eniscopes public display software could even be displayed on the large screen so all the fans could see why they have lost their cheerleaders at half-time and what is being saved - they could evaluate then if the savings are enough to warrant the loss of their cheerleaders or whether other measures could be more effective.

Changes in practices, such as are being taken in South Korea, alongside the installation of energy saving technology, such as lighting controls, will produce substantial energy savings that protect the bottom line of any business, whether in professional sports or the commercial world.

According to a study by the Korea Energy Management Corporation the South Korea baseball leagues plan is expected to cut energy costs by about 275 billion won ($238.3 million) a year, making it a wise decision financially but an Eniscope would help them to see what else could be done and what would be the most effective measure to take - with or without the cheerleaders.

So the cheerleaders will do their bit, how? Well, by not doing their bit!
