Engaging yourselves in an environmental awareness activity is really an act that should be shared with others. It is a good deed indeed for many of us inhabitants of the planet earth. I hope lots of people will mirror this act and also share it to youngsters.Electrical Training Courseshttp://www.industrialinstitute.com/electrician/electrician-continuing-education.cfmnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4755637818606819433.post-25041147126958899662011-05-02T07:23:54.363-07:002011-05-02T07:23:54.363-07:00I have noticed this in schools and colleges as wel...I have noticed this in schools and colleges as well. In fact, my alma mater, Montgomery High School, which built a brand new high school recently, has a tendency to leave on all their parking lot and stadium lights all night long. I remember neighbors of the school complaining - not even about wastefulness at first but because the lights were bright enough to really light up the whole area - especially on an overcast night when the lights would illuminate the clouds.<br /><br />After getting multiple complaints the school did find a way of not using all the stadium lights, but it still leaves many lights on because there is a night janitor and they do not want him to fall and hurt himself while he is on school property. In my opinion, why not just give him a big flashlight? There has to be a more energy efficient way. <br /><br />I also know about the TV/computers being left on 24/7. I know that as a teacher you do not want to waste ANY instructional time sitting around turning computers or TVs on and waiting for them to boot. Teachers arrive to school and work hard to utilize every minute available to them - turning devices and on off seems a trivial matter comapred to lesson plans, grades, and other instructional elements of the day's classes. It might prove more effective if computers/TVs were wired to a single switch - I think that a teacher would be more likely to flick a switch than to have to go from device to device to boot up/turn off for the day.Alisandra Wederichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11329655742889464126noreply@blogger.com
