On October 22, we celebrate world energy day dedicated to global energy. The day is concerned with raising awareness on global energy-related issues. It was first established at the World Energy Forum 2012.
World Energy Day is celebrated internationally to raise awareness of the need to rally around the creation and implementation of policies that increase energy efficiency and conserve natural resources. The aim of World Energy Day is to demonstrate the impact of energy choices made with regards to production and use on the environment at large.
The theme of 2020 was, "Connecting Energy societies." In introspect we can analyse that the world at the moment is connected through energy. Energy plays a predominant role in connecting people, communities and thereby societies. In Kenya, Eenovators Ltd in partnership with Ariya Finergy is creating awareness of the World Energy Day and promoting participation. Eenovators and Ariya Finergy will coordinate the 2020 World Energy Day Celebration activities as the central organizing bodies.
The celebrations will run from Monday 19th October right through to Friday 23rd October. There is a growing interest from organizations both in the private and public sector to take part in this initiative. At Maradhoo school, the event was celebrated today. The highlight of the event was the splendid speech given by Ahmed Aalin Adil of grade 6 on the importance of energy as well as the many reasons why it has to be conserved at the earliest.
All the benefits of technology and science that we take for granted everyday are because of the many wonders in the field of energy. Life without internet seems almost impossible. It has become a basic commodity these days. To think that even internet needs energy, the devices that we use, the gadgets that we so easily utilize to make our day-to-day life efficient are all because of energy. And energy is not something we can take for granted.
There are many energy sources that are easily getting depleted. And our dependence on these sources is extremely high. That is why as responsible human beings we should understand the effects that the future may have because of it.
There are many small changes that we can bring in our daily lives that will have a lasting impact. The only way we can save the world and save energy is by changing ourselves. We have a comfortable life and so should the future generations to come.
