Today's Energy Insight

Do you know what the MOST efficient form of ENERGY available to us today is???

It is the energy we don't have to produce in the first place so when you save energy, you are being as efficient as you possibly can. It only takes the push of a button or the flip of a switch to make a difference at school, work, home... everywhere!

Thanks, Everyone for doing your part!

It's MEA Week

Do you know what MEA stands for?

MORE ENERGY AWARENESS!

So please try to be MORE ENERGY AWARE

and set a good example for our staff and students!

(For followers of this blog not in Minnesota, MEA also stands for Minnesota Education Association and a short hand way to refer to fall break in districts throughout the state.)

Energy ACTION Month

October is Energy Awareness Month
but besides just being aware, why not consider it...

ENERGY ACTION MONTH!

Simple actions YOU can do include

(but are not limited to)

• Flip off your light switch
• Turn off your monitor
• Re-use, re-purpose, recycle when you can
• Replace old bulbs with CFLs or LEDs
• Use a power strip
• Add a layer instead of turning up the heat

Every little action counts and all add up to make a huge difference.

Thanks for taking ACTION!

Energy Awareness Month

October means football, pumpkin spice everything and Halloween, of course. But October is also National Energy Awareness Month. This month of recognition dates back to September 1991 when President George Bush made the declaration encouraging government and organizations to raise awareness of the importance of sustainably managing the nation's energy resources.

So what can you do in October, and all year long for that matter? It doesn't take much, in fact Archbishop Desmond Tutu has a famous quote that fits quite nicely with being energy conscious.
