14th December - World Energy Day
Individuals and organizations that are direct consumers of energy may want to conserve energy in order to reduce energy costs and promote economic, political and environmental sustainability. This practice may result in increase of financial capital, environmental value, national security, personal security, and human comfort.
Making homes, vehicles, and businesses more energy efficient is seen as a largely untapped solution to addressing global warming and energy security.
