Water Conservation Campaign and Reporting Leaks + Faucets without Aerators

July 28 2016

The C02e reduction due to water conservation was based on the energy it takes to deliver the water and treat the water from the school faucets. Reduction of water use was based on students turning off the faucet (water) while they were washing their hands. This action translates to energy saved and CO2e reduced.

Summary

 The students completed the following tasks:

  1. Students performed a water assessment of their classroom, which was facilitated by the Community Helpers (K-8th grade school club)
  2. Students created and posted signage reminding fellow students to turn off faucets while not in direct use.
  3. Students reported leaks and faucets without aerators to the campus custodian.   
  4. Students reviewed the water assessment and revisited actions that they took at home and school to conserve water. They celebrated those efforts during an Earth Day assembly. 

Metrics

0.957616 kiloWatt hours of Water between April 15th 2013 and June 7th 2013
Results: 1 lbs CO2e emmissions avoided
