Why are energy issues important in Clear Creek ISD?
SAVINGS
We want to have a cost effective solution for everything we do! By reducing the amount of energy we use, we can reduce district spending. This means that more of the money gets spent on things that we really care about:
- More money for teachers and staff
- More education and development programs
- New equipment
ENVIRONMENT
Reducing energy use will contribute to a healther environment. Every time we switch on a light, or make a cup of coffee, we use energy. Every time we use energy, we release Carbon Dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere. CO2 is one of the main gases that contributes to Global Warming, which is a big threat to the planet, not only because it puts us in the hot seat, but because it causes a greater incidence of floods, storms and drought!
EDUCATION
Energy is a very precious resource, and right now, most of our sources of energy are from non renewable fossil fuels. By using energy wisely, we can better provide for our children, as well as teach them to see the “bigger picture”. For more information on fossil fuels, go to http://www.fe.doe.gov/education/.
