One school in particular has taken a proactive stance by allowing its students to play a real-world role in lowering their schools’ energy usage.

Ultimately, we can talk about how energy efficiency will lead to making a better future for all, but it's also important to recognize that what we do in our everyday lives will have direct implications down the road. Incorporating energy efficiency into school curriculum helps prepare a stronger EE workforce for the future, as well as opens the door for them to become energy leaders in the hear and now. Kids are the future, but there’s no time like the present to get a head start.
Hawai‘i Energy helps island families and businesses make smart energy choices. Hawai‘i Energy encourages and rewards energy decisions that will allow our state to reach 100% clean energy faster and cheaper. To date, we have saved the people of Hawai‘i more than a billion dollars off their energy bills. For more information, please visit www.hawaiienergy.com.
