Wednesday, December 6: Energy
Did you know? In New York City, almost 70% of greenhouse gas emissions come from energy used in buildings (Mayor's Office of Climate & Environmental Justice(Open external link)). With over 1,500 school buildings in NYC, students and families have an opportunity to make a BIG impact.
There are two ways we can lower greenhouse gas emissions from energy use in our schools:
1. Reduce the amount of energy that we use each day, and
2. Use more clean and renewable forms of energy instead of fossil fuels.
That’s why our first ever Climate Action Day is all about energy! On December 6, students will learn about fun, relevant, and creative ways to decrease energy use in their school community, and beyond.
