(SOME SPECIAL REQUESTS FROM OUR STUDENT BODY AND FACULTY…)

-COMPUTER SHUTDOWNS WHEN NOT IN USE, OFF IS BETTER THAN STANDBY…AT LEAST AT THE END OF THE DAY PLEASE…

LIGHTS OFF WHEN NOT IN USE AND JUST FLICK THEM OFF WHEN YOU LEAVE FOR THE DAY…DON’T LET THEM SHUT THEMSELVES OFF…THAT IS A WASTE TOO… 

TV’S  OFF WHEN NOT IN USE, ESPECIALLY AT THE END OF THE DAY IN THE HALLS…

PROJECTORS/SMARTBOARDS OFF WHEN NOT IN USE, THIS ALSO EXTENDS YOUR BULBS LIFESPAN…

UNLESS YOU ARE DISABLED OR MOVING FREIGHT, PLEASE USE THE STAIRS, THE WALK UP THE STAIRS WILL DO YOU GOOD…THE ELEVATOR IS A HUGE WASTE OF ENERGY FOR JUST ONE OR TWO PEOPLE WHO JUST DON’T WANT TO WALK THE STAIRS BECAUSE THEY ARE TIRED OR LAZY…DON’T SHOOT THE MESSENGER ON THIS ONE, IT WAS PROBABLY THE MOST COMMON SUGGESTION I HAVE RECIEVED SINCE WE STARTED THE CLUB…

ULTIMATELY THESE ENERGY SAVING ACTIONS WILL REDUCE OUR USE OF FOSSIL FUELS INSTANTLY…BUT IT COULD ALSO SAVE THE CITY A TON OF MONEY OVER THE COURSE OF THE YEAR…AND THAT MEANS RESOURCES FOR ALL THE STUFF WE USE…BOOKS, SUPPLIES, EQUIPMENT, AND TEACHER’S JOBS…
