KOCHI: The programmes organised by the Society for Energy Engineers and Managers (SEEM) across the State as part of observance of the Energy Conservation Month concluded on Wednesday, which is observed as the World Energy Conservation Day.
Delivering a lecture at the concluding ceremony of the programme here, Mayor Soumini Jain said it was high time the entire humanity switched to renewable energy sources.
“The demand for clean energy is increasing, while supply is declining. We need to shift to cleaner energy sources like solar power for achieving energy efficiency and reducing pollution,” said Jain.
Under the campaign, which was launched in Thrissur on November 14, various schools, colleges, industries and residential areas were covered. The campaign was marked by awareness classes, distribution of LED lamps at discounted prices, and magic shows on the theme of ‘energy conservation.’
The Energy Conservation Month is observed for creating awareness on the use of all forms of energy and ways and means to reduce energy usage. The theme of the campaign was set as ‘Energy Conservation in Daily Life,’ as the major energy consumer in Kerala is the domestic sector,” said SEEM chairman P S Antony Joseph.
