Did you know that schools are one of the largest public sector consumers of energy, producing the equivalent of 18 coal-fired power plants or 15 million cars each year? By electrifying school heating, cooling, and cooking systems, installing solar panels, and electrifying the school bus fleet, your school system can help bring down our country’s carbon emissions significantly. These very same changes also improve our health by improving air quality for students. Let’s modernize and decarbonize our schools to create healthier learning environments! As the most important users of school buildings, we have a right and a special power to ask for change. This may be the most significant way we, as students, can directly bring down carbon emissions. Find a few friends, a helpful adult, and join our Great School Electrification Challenge! By April 30th, 2024, fifteen school boards across the U.S. have pledged to “electrify everything” in their school districts. To learn more and get all the details, check out the Great School Electrification Challenge Guide. To get started, form a team of 3+ students and find an adult sponsor. Then register for the challenge. Contact with questions. For full details on the the steps of the challenge and the point system, view The Great School Electrification Challenge Guide The Great School Electrification Challenge!
