United Press International HOUSTON — If Americans hope to become energy independent, the effort must include the home and homemaker, say housewives who have raised money and lured top speakers to a grassroots energy seminar to tell women how they can contribute. “Sometimes women who are not working can feel helpless,” said Sarah Kosberg, an organizer of the Sept. 19 series of speeches and work shops. “But as a combined group we know we can have our voices heard. ” The common bond among the 35 volunteer organizers was neither kinship nor neighborhood. They worked at home, usually raising children, though most had strong ties to their church or synagogue. “We were tired of hearing everyone blame everyone else for the problems and saying somebody else should conserve but the indi vidual talking never wanted to do without,” said Millie Cowen, co- chairman of the seminar. “We want to reach the woman in the home and give her some idea of what’s taking place around her, what she can do to alleviate the situation and what she can do about making choices for her future and the future of her children.” “We don’t want to put the hammer on anybody’s head,” said Kosberg. “We want to look at all the (energy use) options and set about the task of influencing attitudes. “Our hope and our goal simply is to raise consciousness and see what affect we can have upon our govern ment in bringing about change.” The women do not claim to have learned a lot about energy while piecing together the seminar prog ram, but they have surprised them selves at their ability to raise money, find speakers and attract interest. “When it came to actually prog ramming, we found we did it better ourselves,” said Cowen. “Many groups catered to the professional, but we wanted simple language and simple ideas.” They settled on topics that in cluded energy myths; energy con servation in the home, church and synagogue; nuclear energy; solar energy, natural gas exploration; and petro dollars and the world econo my. With a church committed as the site of the workshops, they joked about enticing Lola Bedford to Houston as a keynote speakei learned from a television she was active in Consumer A® Now.
