Energy Independence

Dear Friend, Traditionally, Hopkins High School Earth Club has been a student-run organization focused on spreading environmental awareness throughout our school district. This year, we have decided to take our passion for the earth one step further by initiating a project on energy independence with goals to install one or more forms of alternative energy at the school. We believe that climate change is too pressing of an issue to leave in the hands of Washington. We are making the choice to take action within our community to implement change! We are looking for funding to finance the evaluation of our school by alternative energy companies in order to find the most practical, energy efficient, and financially feasible options. A site analysis by one company can cost up to $300+ and we are hoping to aggregate enough funds to kick-start this significant project. As President of Hopkins Earth Club, I am optimistic and excited about our progress thus far. With the help of this grant, we can take our evaluation to the next step and present our final proposal to the school board. Sincerely, Ethan Buckner President, Hopkins High School Earth Club (612)-718-3847 14941 Wellington Rd. Wayzata, MN 55391 EthanBuckner@gmail.com
