(267) [EN] Energy behavior transformation - Thinking about everyone
Abdallah Alshamali, Bashar M. Zeitoon, Sarah Jean Cunningham
While an energy transformation to renewable energy is happening, a behavioral transformation for energy use must occur as well. It will enable societies to lower their energy consumption and reduce the need for energy intensive items, be more energy efficient, careful and considerate while using energy, while sourcing whatever energy we use from Eco-friendly and sustainable sources. It is important to be aware of behaviors we want to keep and what we must let go and who should apply them.
