Recital 30 a (new)
(30a) The necessary increase in energy efficiency will only be achieved through a comprehensive change in society’s thinking. Today’s children are tomorrow’s workers, engineers, architects, entrepreneurs and energy users. The decisions they take will influence the way in which society produces and uses energy in the future. Energy education is therefore important so that future generations can be instructed in how to contribute to efficient energy consumption through their lifestyle and personal behaviour. The Member States should therefore take targeted action to promote energy education in schools, with particular stress on how each individual can contribute to more efficient, sustainable energy use through their personal behaviour.
