On November 8th, our COMM 101 class had the pleasure to meet the owner of Energy Aware, Janice. She is a Sauder graduate who put her passion for sustainability to use and became an entrepreneur in this field. Her company, Energy Aware creates hardware, software and firmware. The Power Tab is one of the products Energy Aware makes. It is a very interesting product as it shows the amount of watts you are using in your home. During the Vancouver Olympics, the Power Tab was featured to emphasize the sustainability of the Olympic Village.

I love the idea of the Power Tab. I think it is a simple product that creates not only awareness, but change. We only have one world, and we should do everything possible to sustain the environment.
