Lights Out Canada!
Restoring Earth's Environment
What specific problem does this project address? Reduce the amount of electricity usage.
What research was done for this project? We read the information sent from Lights Out and looked on websites to see what effect this could have. We contacted our maintanence people to see if we could do meter readings to determine our savings, but were unable to set it up.
How was this project decided upon? e received an email and couldn't turn it down because we wanted to do something for the earth.
How will this project remain ongoing? we will rejoin the project next year to remind us that it should be done each year. If the originator does not promote it, we'll contact the other schools and ask them to redo it.
How is this project going to make a difference? If we spend at least one day a year turning out unnecessary lights, it will change the habits of many people.
