Environment and Energy Use

Every use of energy has some effect on the land, water and air. Using energy more efficiently softens the impact on our planet. The activities in this section are designed to:

  • Broaden awareness of energy and energy sources.
  • Consider what we can change about the way we use energy.
  • Impress on students that their actions can make a difference in assuring the quality of our environment.
