Efficiency in Schools School settings are optimal places to communicate messages about energy conservation. In addition to the School OneThings listed on this site, there are a variety of things you, your students and co-workers can do each and every day.
Tell Stories
Are there students who are especially committed to energy conservation? Have they taken on and implemented projects designed to save energy and protect the environment? If so, tell their story, in your school newspaper, on
billboards or at school assemblies.
Make the Medium Your Message
Use OneThing screensavers in your computer labs to remind students and staff of your school¹s commitment. And, if you're still taking the 'old-school' approach to producing the school newspaper, yearbook or creative writing
journal, consider email distribution to students vs. hard copies.
Projects at every turn
Use OneThing as a springboard for art and science and social studies projects, a theme for class essays, or even as a novel approach in photography or culinary classes. There are so many ways to interpret and communicate the OneThing message. And, you can be sure that students will learn by doing.
Pass it on! Include periodic OneThing tips and messages in the Home Room morning and afternoon broadcasts. And every once in a while, encourage students and others to pass the message on to family, friends and others.
