    Mom—he’s teasing me! Cubs play to gain strength before they follow their mother to the ice to hunt before the summer ice break-up forces her ashore again.

Going For Green

Season: 
Fall

Adult Advisor:

Team Members:
Allison Dianis (age:17)

Project Category:
Saving Energy
Project Outline:

We will be conducting an energy survey at our high school near the beginning and end of the contest period. These will be used to calculate averages for each class and finally an average change for each class. Our old website will be revised and some portion of our project will be centered online, hopefully aimed at education children. We will also be working closely with our sponsor zoo, Brookfield Zoo, in an effort to increase the scope of our impact. An addition this year will be working with the ECCO committee in our village, who awarded us the first Gold Leaf Award for our project last year. This too will increase the number of people we can reach.
