    Well, let’s see. There was ice here a few days ago. As the sea ice melts earlier in the summer and forms later in the fall, polar bears’ lives are becoming more challenged.

The Snowcones

Season: 
Fall

Marlene Olveda
Team Members:

Project Category:
Saving Energy
Project Outline:

We will conduct an energy audit on our school so that we can plan for ways to reduce our school's use of energy and help our school become a Washington Green School. We will also fund raise so that we may purchase energy saving gear to give to people who sign an agreement to reduce their carbon footprint. We will make a presentation on saving energy at a local library or other community gathering place. We will ask several companies to donate coupons for CFLs or CFLs to give out at the presentations.
