October is Energy Awareness Month Published Sept. 22, 2008 By Brie Ward 21st Civil Engineer Squadron PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. -- You can't turn on a television lately without hearing something about energy -- gas prices or global warming. The volatility of the energy market has rippled through our economy forcing it to center stage. Energy is a big deal. October is Air Force Energy Awareness Month and like the many labeled months of the year, October will be filled with a myriad of informational events. But more than the picnics, the 5K awareness runs, the free light bulbs, and fun events, Energy Awareness Month is first and foremost an educational process. Knowing the problem is often the first step to solving it. Come out and see the Peterson Energy Management Team at some of our sponsored events. Learn about ways you can help, how energy is impacting our economy, and how important it will become in the future.
