How To: Run a Collection Drive

  1. Get the go ahead. You don’t want to get on your principal’s bad side so first make sure that he or she is okay with this sort of thing.
  2. Get your teachers on board. Have the teachers promise to do something crazy if you reach a certain goal, like promise to wear a ridiculous t-shirt to work or shave their heads. The hope of punishing a teacher has a certain way of inspiring people.

Turn off the lights when you leave a room!

Light Bulb

It's so simple, just flick that switch! Turn off the lights when you leave the room, even if you think you will be right back.

Another way to conserve energy and lower the electric bill is to keep the lights off when the sun is shining in! Take advantage of that natural light and save the lights for night.

Remember to turn off the lights when you leave a room, even if you think you will be right back!
