This workshop aims to provide ethical and logical reasons why we should change our behavior with regard to energy supply. It begins by pointing out a fallacy in our consumption and thus uncovering the origins of our consumer goods. It then looks at our society's dependence on a continuous energy supply as well as the consequences of electricity generation from fossil fuels. Finally, the concept of PV systems is explained and presented as a way of generating renewable energy. It also shows how students can become active themselves and stand up for their beliefs with the help of various tools.
