I will now research about how energy relates to personal responsibility. In my opinion, personal responsibility plays a major role for energy.
Firstly, one might say that the energy efficiency of a country depends on the countries energy system itself. However, there are still a lot of things a person can do themself in order to help the environment, but at the same time also save costs. As I noticed here, there are two major aspects on which energy efficiency depends on, firstly costs, but also how to help the environment, this is also why I will focus on both these aspects for my personal project.
In my workshops I want to make specific connections to things that people could improve for their energy efficiency. At the same time, I would like to raise awareness for the consumption. Personal responsibility, is a huge issue which many people in our society are not fully aware, this is why I would like to teach people about this further.
At this point, I would like to bring up the "Renewable Energy Initiative" supporting National Clean Energy month. The purpose was to draw attention to different energy sources but also how we can use our environment and resources more efficiently.

For me this source is specifically interesting, since it also, just like I do in my personal project, want to draw attention to how to improve the efficiency. I will probably use this further as one of my sources for my essay, since this has good details of what everyday people can do.
