Energy Smart Schools Home Page
In support of the Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Network (EREN) the Miamisburg Environmental Management Project/Department of Energy encourages the participation of local schools and students to participate in some of the great upcoming contests and events.
The EnergySmart Kids Contest is a national essay contest sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy and Owens Corning to involve 4th-6th grade students in making their schools and homes more energy efficient. Ten contest winners will earn the opportunity to be appointed EnergySmart Ambassadors and participate in the nation's inaugural EnergySmart Student Summit in Washington, D.C. in November.
Saving Energy Starts with Me
With less than five percent of the world population, the
United States is responsible for producing 20 percent of the global emissions that
contribute to global warming. By participating in the EnergySmart Kids Contest, you can
help encourage your fellow Americans to make their schools and homes more energy
efficient. As a result, you can help Americans save the planet's natural resources and
reduce the amount of greenhouse gas emissions.
