2.2 energy conservation
|
During the 2015 - 2016 school year, fifth grade Green Team students, Everyday Environmentalists, examined the energy usage at Waterloo. They listened to a presentation from Diane Sweeney, the Energy Management Specialist for HCPSS. Waterloo Elementary does NOT appear to be an energy efficient school!

Energy stars
Following the talk, students decided to implement an "Energy Star" program at Waterloo. They felt it was better to accentuate the positive rather than become "energy police." Green Team students made numerous energy stars and will distribute them throughout the day all week long to those classes, classrooms and/or teachers that are working wisely to conserve energy.

Students created a PowerPoint to share with the school community to encourage energy conservation.
In addition, they created an "Energy Star Rap" to share with teachers and staff.
