This from friend and colleague, Emily Curley about the SEDS energy conservation program in DC airing soon on CNN...
Hello,
I wanted to share some great, positive press coming out of the DC Public Schools.
Recently CNN was on hand to cover the Saving Energy in DC Schools (SEDS) program presenting a Student Energy Audit Training at School Without Walls High School. Coverage of the day was put on CNN’s website and will air next Saturday as part of an hour-long special on CNN Saturday, April 24 at 3:00 pm.
There is a short video showcasing the training that shows the students engaging in hands-on energy efficiency education.
According to the article (http://www.cnn.com/greensolutions), “at Washington, D.C.'s School Without Walls, the Alliance to Save Energy is teaching students simple steps to make their homes more ecofriendly and energy efficient while inspiring them to consider environmental careers. ‘I'm finding in my own life, I'm educating people around me,’ one student said. ‘Bringing some of the things that I learned in class today to the administration could help the school for years to come.’”
The SEDS program has been holding similar trainings among 25 public, charter, and private schools in DC over the past two years in order to train and inspire students and teachers to learn about and take action to save energy in their schools.
Please contact me for further information, or if you would like to learn more about the program. Thanks!
