October is Energy Awareness Month. Did you know that despite all the technology surrounding renewable energy, it’s not a new invention? In 200 BC, people in China would use windmills to pump water and grind grain, and Romans were the first to use geothermal energy to heat houses. If you care about energy and climate, come to the Earth Action Club meeting after school today in C260. See Ms. Quain with questions.
