30-Minute Lunchtime Webinar Will Focus on Practical Ways to Use Energy More Efficiently

Denver, CO, October 04, 2013 – On Thursday, October 10, Ecotech Institute will hold a lunchtime webinar, “Tame the Energy Monster: A Focus on Energy Efficiency” that explores what it means to be energy efficient. To truly “tame the energy monster”, energy use has to become a state of mind, a lifestyle switch that starts from the moment we wake up. This webinar, which is the second in Ecotech Institute’s “Living the Ecotech Lifestyle” series, will tackle this topic. The fast-paced, 30-minute session will help attendees think about the mind shifts for how to live a more eco-friendly life. It will also look at what businesses are doing to improve energy efficiency. Kyle Crider, Manager of Environmental Operations at Ecotech Institute, will host the event.

“Energy Efficiency is something everyone from a single home-owner to leaders of international businesses should care about. There are tremendous cost savings and sustainable benefits associated with everyday energy decisions,” said Crider. “This webinar will take a look at the practical steps we can all take to tame excessive energy use that causes rising energy bills and inefficient use of resources.”
