12 Oct: Consider conservation during Energy Efficiency Month

October signals the start of cozy sweaters, pumpkin-spiced everything and color-changing foliage. It’s also National Energy Efficiency Month.

While energy efficiency is something that we can practice every day, October’s a good time to reacquaint ourselves with our connection to energy and how we use it.

National Energy Awareness Month, which began in the early 1990s, raises awareness of the importance of sustainably managing the nation’s energy resources. Over the decades of celebrating energy efficiency in October, the conversation has expanded to incorporate multiple elements of energy conservation, such as highlighting the food/water/energy nexus.
