First Post
This is the first post to EnergyHoliday.com. This is the spark that lights the inferno, or perhaps more appropriately, the first droplet that douses it.
When I told my wife I was starting this project, she didn’t need to ask me why. My motives are purely selfish. I’m not an ecologist; I’m not an evangelist; I’m not an environmentalist. In fact, if anything, I’m an entrepreneur (and not a very good one at that) who just wants…scratch that…who needs to see a change in our country to restore the faith and the pride I once had for our great nation. Our nation, who is supposed to be leading the charge for all that is good and right. I want to see our United States united again under a cause that is truly truly worth our time. Never in the history of the world has there been a better cause than the battle to save the planet.
My expectations of the Energy Holiday are not that we will able to rid ourselves of combustible fuels in one or two years. My expectations are also not that everyone that participates in this movement will change their energy habits overnight, or that they’ll sell their gas appliances and air conditioners to go live on a wind farm in Kansas.
What I do hope to achieve is a heightened sense of awareness and empowerment.
My challenge to you: join me and re-learn to survive without energy for one day in a united effort to reduce our energy footprint and preserve the globe for our children.
