Learning about Energy Consumption Habits of our Peers and Advocating for Installation of Solar Panels in Our School

Energy consumption has become an extremely prevalent problem in modern society. As the need for energy grows the impacts of that need begin to grow as well. My team surveyed students at Erindale Secondary School to inform ourselves on the usage of energy amongst high school students. The results from the study indicated that high school students use four to five hours of energy outside of school on weekdays, which is worrisome considering that students are at school for six hours a day. We found that over three hours per day are spent on computer by both boys and girls, and that boys spend more than 3 hours per day on game consoles. Considering that it would be harder for us to impact what our peers do at home, we decided to take action in our school. First, we wrote a letter to our school principal to request assessment of our school for installation of solar panels. The principal agreed to the idea. Then, we wrote a letter to Pure Energies asking the company if they would be interested in installing solar panels at our school. We received a reply from the Vice President informing us that his subcontractors have asked if they can help on this project. This was great news for us and we hope that our efforts will contribute to a more energy efficient school.
