Energy
Power stations produce electricity for us to use in our homes, our schools and our work place. In order to reduce the amount of damaging gases emitted from them we all need to try and cut down on the amount of electricity we use on a daily basis.
Schools use large amounts of electricity per year. By reducing the amount of electricity they use, they not only help the environment but can also save money from reduced electricity bills.
