On the website page is a link to a 26-page EPA report entitled, “Sensible Steps to Healthier School Environment.” In the report’s chapter on Energy Efficiency, the EPA presents a box with items to help establish “Energy Efficiency Opportunities for Schools.”
The APS website says that patrol members can be provided with ID tags, vests and clipboards. Their responsibilities include leaving reminders to better conserve energy in rooms they find that have the lights on but are unoccupied.
By getting volunteers to be more conscience of their school's environment that makes our central gov't more powerful? I don't see the correlation. I do like the outcome and would think that saving energy and school waste/costs would be applauded (less need for taxing the public then):
“School districts can use the savings from improved energy performance to help pay for building improvements and other upgrades that enhance the learning environment.”
"Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” -King T'Challa, Black Panther
The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it. ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is. ~Winston Churchill
Because folks prolly won't look for it themselves, here is a link to the APS (Arizona Public Schools) web page for students and Faculty to be more energy aware. Good for the EPA and APS I say.
