Every month is energy awareness month at the Community Energy Challenge, but since 1991 the federal government has recognized October as Energy Awareness Month. It's an effort to raise awareness about the ways in which clean and efficient energy systems are central to a thriving economy, clean environment, and healthy citizens.

Whatcom County is doing its part as local homes and businesses are receiving energy assessments through the CEC, and together we have already saved more than $269,249 in energy costs since 2009. That's 1,058 tons of greenhouse gasses that were never released into our atmosphere and a whole lot of saved money that was reinvested in the local economy.
All over the country businesses, non-profits, citizens, and government organizations are stepping up energy awareness. To learn more about Energy Awareness Month 2010, check out these links:
