Energy awareness campaigns work year-round to promote energy conservation and environmental consciousness.
There are numerous government and private sector groups working together in many instances whose common goal is to show how every individual can take actions to promote a clean energy future.
The “Energy Star Change a Light, Change the World” campaign is a national challenge during the months of October and November to encourage every American to change out old, incandescent bulbs for new, compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs) that have earned the Energy Star designation.
The campaign is helping change the energy habits of consumers around the country and saving billions of kilowatt-hours (kWh).
The “Something Big” poster was produced during Energy Awareness Month by the Department of Energy’s Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy in conjunction with the Environmental Protection Agency.
The “Something Big” poster is a special mosaic poster promoting Energy Star light bulbs and featuring literally thousands of energy champions who submitted photos of themselves at energy awareness events.
To have your agency participate in the “Change a Light” online pledge and receive messages regarding this campaign, visit the EPA Web site at www.energystar.gov/.
