Energy Conservation
Teams of our highly trained students have been working on bi-daily tips for energy and water conservation,
and the videos also educated the students more on phantom (vampire) energy. These tips are shown every
other day or so on the morning announcements, CMSTV25. On the morning announcements, CMSTV25, the
anchors remind teachers to "Please Turn Off Your TVs," after announcements.
A team of students in Mrs. Vinje's GT Science class have researched the effect of light on concentration in
class. Their studies have concluded that many classrooms have too much light, to the point where the light
rays reflect off the pages in books. Student researchers removed a percentage of light bulbs in order to both
reduce energy use and brightness of the room. Light switches have been reconfigured to turn on only a certain
number of lights.
10 teachers at CMS have won desk lamps to use when the room lights are not needed. All teachers
received power strips to use with the large number of appliances in classrooms. They can all be turned off all at
once.
