Reward Updates
Participating in the My Energy Kit program gives teachers and schools a chance to win cash rewards. Teachers can join a monthly raffle offering three $100 prizes, and the schools with the most kit requests win grand prizes ranging from $1,000 to $2,500. Find out more here.
Of course, saving energy is its own reward. Our goal is to save about 3.5 million kilowatt-hours (kWh) of energy this school year. But what does saving 3.5 million kWh mean?
A kWh is a measurement of energy that describes the electricity used over a certain period of time.
Saving 3.5 million kWh of energy is equivalent to:
- 41,000 trees absorbing carbon dioxide for 10 years
- Taking 525 vehicles off the road for an entire year
- Conserving the electricity from over 455 homes for an entire year
