They are putting their energy into saving electricity and competing to see which school can reduce its energy the most.
They have a fortnight to see how low they can go as part of Eco-Active’s Turn It Off campaign and will be switching off as many appliances that they can that aren’t being used.
The Energy Efficiency Service’s Holly Lefebvre said: “All the schools taking part are Eco Schools, and this is an opportunity for their eco-committee to put together campaigns that encourage other pupils, and teachers, to save electricity.
“Simple things, like turning off lights and projectors when they aren’t being used, have a big impact on the amount of electricity being used. A typical home will save between £40 and £70 a year by switching appliances off at the plug rather than leaving them on standby – just think how much a school will save, and how much the Island will save as a whole, if we all take these easy steps.”
The school that has reduced its energy the most will get to see what goes on at Channel 103’s radio station.
The Eco-Active campaign is running all month and the team are encouraging everyone to take part at home and work as well as at school and switch off chargers, TVs , computer monitors, games consoles, tablets and other portable devices and photocopiers that they are not using, even those that are left on stand-by.
