Last week, EO Genaya conducted the “Art to Save Energy” Webinar with a class of very enthusiastic, super creative, grade four students at Bras D’or Elementary. During the presentation, Genaya discussed forms of energy, how electricity is generated, and some of the various places we use it. Then, the class discussed the idea of upcycling! Upcycling is a fun way that we can use items around the house to create something new before we throw it out.

Last year we had the words energy jeopardy spreading around the schools in the Green Schools Program. Energy Jeopardy is a fun, interactive, competition that is done alongside some Green Schools energy related presentations. This year we are adding a new twist to the competition! Class vs Class, you heard that right, you can now learn all about energy, electricity, efficiency, and challenge another class in your school to a game!

Nova Scotia schools have been taking lessons outside! Outdoor learning is excellent for both physical and mental health, not to mention, excellent for saving energy! Heading outside means natural light, fresh air, and lots of learning through exploration!

I am sure you’ve heard the name before, LED Light Bulb, but what does that even mean? And does it really save you that much money? Well let's take a closer look. First off, LED stands for Light Emitting Diode. LEDS began back in the 1960’s, they were very expensive when they first hit the market, as the technology in them was very advanced for those times. As the years went on, they became less expensive and more realistic for the working class.
