School Clean Energy Program (S.C.E.P.)



NaturalEarth is developing their School Clean Energy Program
 to enhance the education of our youth here in the United States.

Through the installation of renewable energy systems
 into schools the benefits are plenty:


     Reduced energy consumption = $avings

                   Cutting a schools energy expenses allow for additional  

                 funds to be redistributed elsewhere, such as the   

                 students educational tools and resources!

      Enhanced Awareness
     
                    Teaching our students about green technology,  

                 environmental consciousness, green movement 

                 and trends, and the importance of giving back!

    Decreased Carbon Footprint
      
                 Reducing a school’s coal based energy consumption 
     
                 reduces carbon pollution!


Future generations will come after us and they must follow the path that we have carved. If we do not alter that path then we will be responsible for the damaged world that our children inherit.

Much more is at stake. 


It is about raising a new generation of leaders who inevitably are going to inherit the problems we will leave behind.

By using the school itself as a teaching tool - as an opportunity for learning - connections really start to happen with kids.


Since the early 1990’s schools have experienced periods of volatility in the cost of their energy.  In fact in 2001, 61 percent of public school districts experienced insufficient energy budgets, forcing school districts to take some of the following actions: 

-        Raise school taxes


-        Reallocate funds from other programs


-        Roll over the under budgeted amount to the next fiscal year


-        Cancel extracurricular activities


Our program is a victory for students, teachers, communities, and our planet.

It will help improve educational opportunities, boost student achievement, and help transition our society toward a green economy while making our classrooms and students more environmentally friendly.


In school terms, S.C.E.P. allows for the hiring of new teachers, the purchase of new computers or new text books, and a cleaner environment both on campus and off.
