Education Plans For Energy Savings
Our children will inherit a planet and have the responsibility to leave it better than the one they found. We parents share that duty. Children must learn at an early age how to change things for the better. MySchoolLights wants to help all students discover what they can do to save energy. Replacing incandescent bulbs with CFLs is the easiest thing we all can do. The future will be different though as more fuel efficient cars reduce consumption and renewable resources replace current energy supplies. The choices we and our children make can change things for the better. It's time to get started. And a CFL fundraiser is the easiest way to get going.
