Saving Energy Matters Now and in the Future
Remember this past July and how hot it was . . .
the electric company had problems keeping up with the demand for
energy needed to keep people cooler and healthier, especially
seniors. Some people did not use fans or air-conditioning because
they said they could not afford to use them. Some school districts
have alternate plans when it is too hot out and students are in
classrooms without cooling resources. What can we do to help our
district use energy more effectively while keeping costs
affordable?
