Saving energy leads to reduce carbon emissions,lower costs and conserves the supplies we have.They are also working in support with high schools to support energy efficiency."We believe energy efficiency is the cheapest and cleanest form of "new" energy the world has." - energy efficiency unit of Chevron.Even though energy suppliers want your business, they are looking for more of an investment instead of wasting energy when it isn't necessary. They believe that conserving energy helps to make more resources for the future and that wasting it now will be pointless.Benefits are extended equipment life; reduced maintenance costs; reduced risk to energy supply price spikes and the ability to sell carbon credits; enhanced public image; and reduced risk to environmental/legal costs.Schools should:1.Using light from outside instead of lights in the building can benefit children's eyesight. (saves energy in the process)2.Using the money saved from conserving energy, schools can have better education systems.3.With less energy being wasted, the school will have more money to invest in other worthy causes for charity or things around our community.4.On top of saving energy, you can use the money already generated to build an alternative, more sustainable, energy source. (geothermal, solar)5.Creates a healthier environment for growing children.6.Additional Websites found on Delicious.

How to save energy in our school?
In the classroom, equipment should be turned off anytime it won't be used for a while. Computers that are left on all day, every day can consume 1,000 kilowatts of electricity in a year.
