We should turn off lights and faucets. It would make a difference. Use less energy please. Christina Banks St. Petersburg, Florida With 700 plus students at our school, my idea is each day some of the kids could peddle a bike which is used to charge batteries-like a power source to run different things in our classrooms, maybe for a fish tank, or water fountain, or the computers, cold or heat in the rooms. And the bonus for helping out that day would be a slushy or ice cream treat that the bike is powered to.
School is maybe seven hours long.
That is 420 minutes, so if 210 kids each peddled for two minutes today, the job is done. Our energy is running out. I will describe ways I save energy. I use solar panels instead of electricity. Instead of watching TV, I go out and play.
