Oktober: De Maand van de Energiebesparing

Zo, het is weer Maand van de Energiebesparing. In Vlaanderen is dat al enkele jaren een goede gewoonte. Mij is van een dergelijke activiteit niets bekend in Nederland. Daarom zijn wij bij stichting Milieunet gewoon maar begonnen en hebben de maand oktober uitgeroepen tot Maand van de Energiebesparing.

Kijk hier voor energiebespaartips en allerlei aanbiedingen en acties waarmee u werk kunt maken van energiebesparing.

Iedereen kan meedoen met eigen activiteiten. Wellicht goed om volgend jaar in samenwerking met andere organisaties het Belgisch voorbeeld te volgen zodat er in heel Nederland activiteiten en acties zijn die gericht zijn op het besparen van energie.

Ook dit jaar wordt oktober uitgeroepen tot de Maand van de Energiebesparing in Vlaanderen. Een goed geïsoleerd dak voor elke woning vormt het kernthema van de oktobermaand. Het Vlaams Energieagentschap pakt uit met een grote wedstrijd met zeer interessante prijzen, die ook uw inwoners warm zullen maken. En tegelijk helpen we u om het energiethema op een weinig arbeidsintensieve manier aan de man te brengen.

   Dit past volgens mij aardig bij de Maand van de Energiebesparing. Gespot bij de Kamer van Koophandel.

   Tijdens de Energie 10-daagse trekt het Energiecentrum door het land. Het Energiecentrum bezoekt hierbij de ondernemers in de gemeenten die actief beleid voeren op het gebied van energie. Hierbij worden energiebesparende producten en folders met bespaartips uitgedeeld aan ondernemers. Ook kunnen ondernemers in het mobiele informatiecentrum hun vragen over energiebesparing kwijt.

   Ook in Bergen op Zoom hebben we een energiemaand. Nog niet in de hele stad maar wel in onze wijk Nieuw-Borgvliet/Langeweg. Kunnen wij ook zo’n kwartetspel over energiebesparen krijgen ?

   Ook in Schelle, België zijn wij actief in het kader van de Maand van de Energiebepsparing.

   Zojuist is ons unieke project ‘Zonne-schakel’ van start gegaan. Doel is gezamenlijk inkopen van zonnepanelen. Hoe meer deelnemers, hoe lager de prijs. !

   Presidential Proclamation-National Energy Awareness Month

   America’s energy resources are inextricably linked to our continued prosperity, security, and environmental health. When it comes to our Nation’s energy future, we face fundamental choices between action and inaction, between embracing the possibilities of a new clean energy economy and settling for the status quo, and between leading the world in clean energy and lagging behind. We must choose wisely and invest in clean energy technologies to position our country for a sustainable future, create new jobs, improve the health of our environment, and lay the foundation for our long term economic security and prosperity.

   The time to act is now. Every year our overdependence on fossil fuels sends billions of dollars overseas to buy foreign oil instead of supporting American workers and farmers, rewarding innovation, and developing clean energy industries here at home. Fossil fuel pollution has already begun to change our climate, posing a grave and growing danger to our economy, our national security, and our environment.

   Over the last year and a half, we have taken unprecedented action to build a clean energy economy. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act made a $90 billion down payment on a clean energy future for our country. This critical investment is expanding manufacturing capacity for clean energy technologies; advancing vehicle and fuel technologies; spurring the development of renewable fuels; and catalyzing progress towards a bigger, better, smarter electric grid; all while creating new jobs that cannot be shipped overseas. My Administration also set tough new fuel-economy standards and the first greenhouse gas emissions standards for cars and light trucks. Additionally, I signed an Executive Order that empowers the Federal Government to lead by example by cutting its energy use. As our Nation’s single largest energy consumer, the Federal Government has an obligation to improve its energy efficiency, increase its use of renewable energy, cut greenhouse gas pollution, and leverage its purchasing power to advance a clean energy economy.

   Across the country, citizens themselves are helping to lead the way. In small towns and city neighborhoods, on college campuses and in houses of worship, in office buildings and on the shop floor, Americans are standing up and building a clean energy economy together through community information, education, and action.

   This progress must mark the start, not the end, of our efforts. Today, countries around the world are competing to create the clean energy economy and jobs of tomorrow, and the country that harnesses the power of clean energy will lead the global economy. As a Nation of scientists and engineers, farmers and entrepreneurs, we must continue to invest in clean, domestic sources of energy, harness the innovation of our brightest minds, promote our world leading industries, and find lasting solutions to our energy challenges.

   If we seize this moment, we stand to strengthen our economy, enhance our national security, and preserve our environment. During National Energy Awareness Month, let us commit to embarking on a new course to achieve our clean energy future.

   NOW, THEREFORE, I, BARACK OBAMA, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim October 2010 as National Energy Awareness Month. I call upon the citizens of the United States to recognize this month by making clean energy choices that will help build a stronger Nation, a more robust economy, and a healthier environment for our children.

   IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this first day of October, in the year of our Lord two thousand ten, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and thirty-fifth.

   BARACK OBAMA

   Kicking Off National Energy Awareness Month

   As you may know, the beginning of October marks the beginning National Energy Awareness Month, a national effort to underscore how central energy is to our national prosperity, security, and environmental well-being. In commemoration of National Energy Awareness Month, the Obama Administration is kicking off a month of clean energy events and activities. Senior administration officials from across the federal government will be highlighting the work they are doing to position our country for a sustainable future, create new clean energy jobs and lay the foundation for our long-term economic security. Check out the current calendar of events, and be sure to check back often as more events are added.

   Since taking office, President Obama and his Administration have taken unprecedented steps to build a clean energy economy in this country. We’ve invested over $90 billion in clean energy technology through the Recovery Act. We worked with the automotive industry and the environmental community to set new tough new fuel-economy standards and the first-ever greenhouse gas emissions standards for cars and light trucks. And the federal government itself — one of the largest consumers of energy in the country, is leading by example by cutting its carbon footprint and finding creative ways to go green.
