eHub Presents…

That’s Bizarre: Social Marketing and how it affects YOU! |
|
More Information:
Essentially, the US public is perfecting a rationale for doing nothing. The excuses we make are like an out-of-shape friend who believes using the stairs over the elevator this one time will not make that much difference while, at the same time, arguing that giving up his daily doughnut habit is too difficult to consider. We are our own deterrent from being sustainable. By coming to this seminar, you will be given the tools to learn how to change your own energy norms, how gamification is helping our society,and how to influence others in the future. It is important to move people beyond the excuses to action and show that, cumulatively, the actions we take will make a difference in society.

eHub’s mission is to keep students informed on the ever-changing world of energy. In pursuit of this goal we are looking for students to share with us their information and knowledge on what is going on in the news or in their own live’s. By making people more aware, and by increasing the knowledge of students in Madison, we can continue to promote efficiency and proper energy use.
Now the question is, how are we going to make this happen? We are hoping that students will send us links and articles about what is currently going on in the world of energy. By creating an interactive flow of knowledge, we are hoping that students will be encouraged to share their experiences in energy with others, and continue to delve deeper into the new energy initiatives that are taking place.
This week we have two featured articles that we have received from students. We encourage you to post questions or comments on any of these posts, so we all may come to a better understand of what is going on in the world around us.
