Challenge 1: Energy, People, & the Planet - exploring your carbon footprint! Challenge 2: Energy Around Me Scavenger Hunt - what is plugged into your walls? Challenge 3: Energy Conservationist - Make a plan for reducing your energy use! Challenge 4: Saving Energy in My Community - Become an energy conservation leader in your community! |
