Energy conservation
Energy conservation is the focus of Level Two of the King County Green Schools Program. Schools and school districts are recognized after they complete Level Two criteria. See Best Practices, resources, and recognition. For a description of the program, visit How it Works.
Teach students why energy conservation is important, engage students and others in your school community in taking action to conserve energy, and reduce energy use in your school, district, and community.
Reducing energy consumption reduces emissions that contribute to climate change. Conserving energy also saves money. After salaries, schools and school districts spend the most money on utilities such as electricity and heat.
