The Problem

Because the amount of students on campus is increasing each year we are constantly needing more rooms, thus more electricity. Most classrooms have at least one computer, many have projecters and all have lamps. A combination of all of our electricty needs causes the school to pay an outragous electric bill every month. By bring awareness in to the picture, conserving energy on campus becomes more important. If teachers and studnets to the time to put computers in standby and turning lights off over time, there is the potential to save money, energy, and negatively impact the environment less.

Why It's Important

The club is going to have a priting company make stickers, which say "Conserve energy, turn the lights off". Once the stickers are printed they will be stuck to all the light switches in the school. Hopefully, this reminder found on the light switches will prompt more students and teachers to be more aware of their energy use at school.

The Plan Of Action

1. Design the stickers and have a priting company (CSM) have them printed. You will have to find out how many classrooms will need them. You may even make it a fundraiser, if you want to make some to sell if you think there is a student demand. 2. Once their printed, we enveloped them with letters to the teachers and either deleivered them personally or put them in their teacher boxes. Within a school day they were found on school light swtiches across the school. We used CUSTOM STICKER MAKER for printing, high recommended.
