Energy Saving with Longmont Estates Elementary School

Saving energy is awesome but it's hard to always remember the little things, like simply turning off the lights when you leave a room. Teaching this to kids can be even harder. That is where stickers come in very handy to educate. We recently worked with the Longmont Estates Elementary School and their student Energy Club, the Electrified Eagles, to help remind everyone about reducing energy waste. The Energy Club meets once a week to discuss different topics on how to reduce energy use and various ways to do that. Their nickname is the Electrified Eagles (an eagle is the school mascot). The concept is pretty simple but harder to execute. The kids worked in their group to help remind people to turn off light switches when they leave a room as a way to reduce energy use. They came up with the idea to use stickers on light switches as a reminder to people around their school. They reached out to us to see if we could help with this project and provide some fun custom stickers. We offered them some rolled quick stickers to make it easy for the kids to run around the school and stick them to the light switches. The kids had a blast with this project and the school's lights were all marked within thirty minutes. We also made a video for the class, so they could also learn about the art design and printing process for custom stickers.
