That’s right folks, get excited! Before you don your costumes, before you eat candy til your belly hurts, before you go out pumpkin smashing, do something weatherization-related for the good of the Earth. Friday, Oct. 30 … coming to a community near you … “celebrate the positive potential of residential weatherization and our green economic recovery.” Oh Sierra Club, what a push! But really, I support weatherization and green jobs, and so should you! Even if it means adding another fake holiday to the e-card list.
On National Weatherization Day, cities will be hosting events to highlight services and organizations that help people to make their homes more energy efficient. Across the country, federal recovery funds are helping people weatherize their homes for winter, creating jobs and reducing energy waste.
National Weatherization Day is also an opportunity to showcase an emerging home renovation industry that could create hundreds of thousands of good, family-supporting green jobs. Weatherization Day events will highlight solution-based programs and efforts to implement city-wide home makeovers, as well as urge the Obama administration to continue to champion a green economic recovery.
The folks at the Sierra Club are so stoked about this holiday, they’ve gone and created some Web stuff for you to spread the word.
Celebrate Weatherization Day:
Spread the word about energy efficiency by writing a letter to your local newspaper. We make it so easy you don’t even have to lick a stamp!
Share this Halloween Efficiency Flyer (PDF) with your neighbors!
