Education for a Sustainable Energy IndependenceOur Mission To create awareness and understanding and to promote usage of clean, renewable energy by providing education and information about types of clean renewable energy, companies that produce and use clean and renewable energy, and ways that individuals can change their current energy usage so that we and future generations can live in a cleaner, healthier environment. Why are we doing this? Energy Aware Organization was created as a result of our personal quest for knowledge about renewable energy and how we could pursue our goals of sustainable living. What we discovered was that while there are many resources available the information about it is fragmented, some is very technical, and it was difficult to find a single source of information about renewable energy that was concise, educational and practical. As we spoke to people about renewable energy, most support the idea but don’t know how it affects them or what they can do to help bring about change. Energy Aware Organization was formed to become a single source of information on energy. Best of all the EAO web site is a dynamic site that is user driven. People can post events, policy issues, questions/answers, and share tips on conservation, and information about the various energies through the wiki and forum. We want to hear from you, what are you doing? What do you think? Share this information with the EAO Community and the world. We believe in what Margaret Mead said, “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.” Join us and lets change the world! What are we doing? In addition to providing this remarkable online community dedicated to the pursuit of truth and complete understanding of all energy related topics, the Jenkins family completed a coast-to-coast tour in a biodiesel-powered RV to promote energy awareness. (Biodiesel is a nontoxic, plant-based, renewable fuel.) Christina & Taylor and their four children left Nampa, Idaho on June 25th, 2007 stopping at several energy fairs, research labs, and energy facilities, and just talking with people as they traveled across the country to the Atlantic coast and back to the Pacific coast, before returning home. Looking at it one way, it was like any other summer family road trip, except we were also spreading an important message of energy independence and environmental respect. While this was our first year, we hope to start a tradition for our family and nation and make these tours in coming years, with more stops. Our family has a commitment to public service and the environment and we believe we can make a difference with our tour. We invite you to join our community! |
