Every day that we are having conversations, eliminating excessive energy usage, and advocating for and educating people on the concept of energy efficiency and sustainable practices, we are making a difference. Every kWh, every dollar, I can help the district save, can go back into the classroom for the education of our young people. When I say “back into the classroom,” I realize those savings could be used for an infinite array of things associated with the schools, including utility costs, playground equipment, adding a new teacher, school supplies, continuing a much-needed program, or simply the purchase of textbooks.
