Agency partnerships with the Boys & Girls Clubs of America (BGCA) and Parent Teacher Organizations Today (PTO Today) will engage young people in energy efficiency service projects in their communities and encourage Americans to take the Energy Star Pledge to make energy-efficient choices at home, at work and in their communities. This year’s fall campaign also includes a national, multi-city, multimedia tour of the Energy Star Exhibit House, which showcases energy-efficient products and practices.
“We’re showing people across the country how energy efficiency can be part of what they do every day. That’s especially important for the kids, who will use these lessons to cut energy use and reduce pollution for the rest of their lives,” said EPA Administrator Lisa P. Jackson. “Confronting climate change, saving money on our utility bills, and reducing our use of heavily-polluting energy can be as easy as making a few small changes. That’s how we change the world with Energy Star.”
Kids from BGCA in 60 locations are being encouraged to conduct energy check-ups at homes and in their communities and educate their peers and families about energy efficiency. Through PTO Today, EPA is reaching out to 6,000 schools across the country with “Go Green Nights” to help families learn about energy-efficient changes they can make in their homes and schools to save energy and help fight climate change.
Let’s see… Asking kids to snitch on their parents? Nah, they’d never do that. Teaching kids “environmental change” is all about human actions, regardless of what the science actually says? Nah, never do that, either… Take advantage of millions of young minds forced into an environment where they can be brainwashed to follow where the “community” wants them to go? Nope, none of that here, either, right? This is why kids should be forced to spend larger amounts of time in the public school system? Yeah, right.
