Welcome to the Green Team! The Green Team is designed to educate schools and community alike about energy efficiency and conservation, and to promote energy efficient habits. The Green Team consists of students who meet 2 times a month after school. This group is based on three principles of conserving energy: monitoring, awareness, education We understand that efficiency and conservation are key components of energy sustainability-the notion that each generation should meet its energy needs without compromising the needs of future generations. To reach our goals, experiments are conducted in the building to test how efficient we are being with our energy here at SJI. The students will research and learn about solar and geothermal energy and how it is used in our school building. Lastly, we communicate our findings and help to educate our community with videos, pamphlets, and actions to help not only SJI but to hopefully inspire and educate local businesses and our local community to do the same.
