October Is Energy Awareness Month:
How Did You Celebrate?
D
id you know October was
National Energy Awareness
Month? Seriously, a bona fide
initiative from the U.S. Department of
Energy (DoE) dedicated to raising
awareness of energy efficiency needs
and initiatives (US DoE, 2020)! There
is even an Energy Efficiency Day on
the first Wednesday in October (since
2016) (Energy Efficiency Day, 2020),
which is Oct. 6 this year. Let me tell
you I have spent an entire career (and
lifetime really) focusing on energy
efficiency and how to minimize energy
consumption in everything from
