National Energy Education Week

March 8-12 has been proclaimed National Energy Education Week in White Pine by Mayor Stanley Wilder.  This week the Science & Energy Team will be educating others about energy, clean energy, and energy conservation at home and at school.   The National Energy Education Development Program has a website with great energy education resources.  Please visit www.need.org to learn more! 

Recycling Saves Energy

White Pine School’s Science & Energy Team is now recycling the following items:

• Laptop computers                
• Cellular Phones                     
• Digital Camer
• Ink Jet Cartridges 
• Laser Printer Cartridges
• Camcorders

Electronic waste contains toxic chemicals that can leak into the soil and water.  The metals in these electronics can be recycled.  This saves energy because raw materials do not need to be mined for use in the new electronic products.  If you would like to recycle old electronics, please use the collection bins at the Science & Energy Team table in the Commons or give your items to any team member.

Conserving Energy Saves Money!

Our school is participating in the Tennessee Home Energy Project 

You can conduct a free home energy survey at www.energyright.com.  Once you complete the home energy survey on-line, you will be provided with ideas that can help you reduce your energy costs.  While supplies last, each family that completes the survey will receive a free Energy Conservation Kit  (please provide a mailing address when requested by the on-line survey)
