GLOBAL AWARENESS days are a bit like London red buses, they show up in 3's. We recently had Earth Day 2013, then earlier this month World Environment Day, now today it's Global Wind Day.
I can easily think of a few ambassadors for Global Wind Day but on a serious note... it is a day for discovering wind, its power and the possibilities it holds to change our world. Global Wind Day is a worldwide event that occurs annually on 15 June.
In more than 75 countries around the world, wind farms are in operation, generating energy from a clean and renewable source.
Thousands of individuals are involved in the production of energy from the wind, but for many people, wind energy is a mystery. Global Wind Day is the day when you can visit wind farms, meet experts, attend events, take actions to support wind energy and find out everything you want to know about wind energy.
The European Wind Energy Association (EWEA) and the Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC) coordinate the Global Wind Day through a network of partners. The day started as a European one in 2007 and went Global in 2009. On 15 June, hundreds of public events are organised all over the world.
In Spain from 3-15 June you might notice the special Global Wind Day lottery tickets. Some five million special tickets have been printed, in association with ONCE – the Spanish association for blind people, and the lottery will be drawn on Global Wind Day itself.
