Nov 4, 2008, Election Day
Target Audience – Elementary Aged Children and their Families
Goals:
To raise awareness and educate cub scouts in ways they can power down.
To distribute CFL light bulbs to cub scouts.
To raise awareness about the plight of the polar bear.
Overview:
We were able to help Cub Scouts from Pack 457, Webelos II, Den 1 with their conservation efforts by distributing CFL light bulbs to them. Along with the light bulbs, the scouts received our poster “5 Simple Steps to Power Down” and an assortment of energy saving brochures and handouts. Each scout is replacing an incandescent bulb in his room with the energy efficient CFL. In addition, each scout enjoyed doing the Horton activity packet.
Measurement:
6 15watt light bulbs were distributed.
723 lbs of carbon dioxide saved in a 15watt CFL’s life time
6 x 723lbs = 4,338lbs
4,338lbs = 2.17 tons of carbon dioxide reduced.
