Helping youth and the community reduce their carbon footprint
by Riley Grant
After the Make
an Impact Change Our 2morrow (CO2) School’s Challenge launched for the first
time in 2012, only one teacher in Whatcom County chose to take on the
challenge- Criss Forslund at Kulshan Middle School. It was a great success for Kulshan and they
won $1000 for participating, but the RE Sources Sustainable School’s team saw
much more potential for the program.
For the 2013
Challenge, Aloca Foundation agreed to sponsor RE Sources in a pilot project to
see how we could offer on-the-ground support to improve the success of the
Change our 2morrow School’s Challenge.
We are working with Kulshan Middle School and Alcoa to help rally
enthusiasm from the school and community, provide in-class presentations and
put on a Green Fair to involve the parents and local organizations.
The program
itself is designed to spread the word about energy efficiency and challenges students,
parents and teachers to learn how to use energy more efficiently while having a
chance to win a $5,000, $1,000, or $500 grant from Alcoa Foundation.
The winning
schools will be determined based on the highest number of Make an Impact carbon
calculator and pledge list completions during the challenge, as a percentage of
the school’s student population. The initiative runs from March 1 to March 31,
2013.
We are excited
to help launch CO2 Schools’ Challenge at Kulshan Middle School and promote the benefits
that energy efficiency can bring to your wallet and the environment.
Want to get involved? Here’s what you can do:
- Complete the carbon calculator and/or pledge list on behalf of your favorite local school.
- Browse the Make an Impact website to learn about energy efficiency and apply what you have learned at home!
