Energy Day in your area
What is an Energy day? I had not heard of one before and found some information online about a scheme in place with the European Commission, for Sustainable Energy Europe.
You can arrnage to have a local Energy Day or even Week. It is an action aiming to involve the wider public in a wide range of activities related to the production or use of renewable energy sources and energy efficiency. Usually organised at a local, regional or national level for a specified period, the types of activities may vary, but normally include one or more of the following :
- Guided visits and tours for the general public to companies, public administrations, private homes or other organizations that use renewable energy sources or implement energy efficient technologies.
- Educational activities and programmes assisting children to discover and learn about energy efficiency techniques and renewable energy.
- Open door days, during which the general public visits organisations to learn more about energy efficient and renewable energy measures on the premises.
- Exhibitions and fairs, where public and private organisations demonstrate and explain their energy technologies to the wider public.
- Opening ceremonies, inaugurations, exhibition shows aimed at the wider public and showcasing innovative renewable energy technologies, energy efficient methods or alternative methods of transport
So why not arrange an Energy Day in your area! Get the public and people around you involved in energy saving and show the community how to do it.
