Increase Your Green-Energy Saving

the problem:

At our school we are trying to reduce energy use. To promote this we copied the light switch covers sent to use by DoSomething.org and are placing them in every classroom.

vital stats:

people impacted:

500

people involved:

500

why it's important:

We believe in becoming a more energy efficient school and promoting the use of natural lighting and less energy use. We hope that when people see our light cover switches they remember to turn off the lights as they exit a room.

the plan of action:

We had a meeting to discuss energy use. We are conducting an energy assessment on our school and our energy usage. We then copied and constructed our light switch covers. We distributed them throughout our school and student members of the club are spreading the word to TURN IT OFF!

how you can get involved:

Continue saving energy whenever possible! Turn off lights and other electronics
