1] King is using too many energy

2] We can just go back to no-electricity time

3] I can go to my friend’s house to play video games and never invite my friends over my house to play. Because it will make me use the energy in my house

1) One thing I learned was that our electricity bill is higher than any of the other schools that we compared and they had more students than us

2) We can take out some of the lights like in the library most of the time the library is really bright also we can unplug somethings.

3) I can turn my tv fully off and also ask if we can get read off some of the heat in my sink.

1. I learned that King Middle School Uses the most energy source out all the portland middle schools, and King pays a lot for our electricity.

2. What we should do is 1 take out lights from rooms that uses the most, and 2nd, if it’s really sunny outside we should turn off the light and use the direct sun light and 3rd, instead of using the projector we should just present it on paper then recycle it.

3. What I can do home is instead of turning on the lights when I have dinner, and or if i’m in a certain room, we should use candles, even though my mom is a candle freak. When i’m watching t.v. I could turn it off doing activities, or read.

1. During Mr. Kiffney’s presentation, I learned that compared to the other middle schools, King has the least students but still uses the most electricity.

2. To improve our amount of evergy use at king, we could turn off the lights or take some out if it is light enough during the day. Also, we could make sure that lights are not left on over night and that appliances not being used are unplugged.

3. Some things I could do to improve the energy use at my home would be to unplug appliances when I am done with them. Also, I could try and make sure that no lights are left on during the day and that the heat is not on higher than necessary.

1. I learned that King Middle School has way more energy use per student than Lincoln and a little bit more than Moore.
2. To improve kings energy usage we could turn everything off in the summer. Also we could leave all lights off during class since we really don’t need them.
3. At home I could unplug my cell phone charger so it is not using energy. I could alsom be more carefull about turning off lights.

1.) King uses more electricity than Licoln and Moore and the lights in the cieling have 32 watts in them.

2.)We cold use less lights in the building so we can still see what we are doing but saving energy.

3.)Turn off the lights more often when they aren’t being used or needed.

1)One fact I learned from Mr. Kiffney’s presentation is that even though things may look like they are off they are still using a little bit of energy.

2) One way you could improve kings energy use is by unpluging things when they are not in use. You could also be extra careful about turning off the lights as you leave the school.

3) One way you could improve your energy use at your home is get rid of your seconed refigirator. This could improve your energy use this way because refigirator are a huge energy sucker upers.

1. One thing I learned about King’s energy is that we have the kids than Lincoln and Moore, but we use more energy than them.

2. To improve King’s energy use, we can take out lights that we don’t need. We could also unplug laptops that are fully charged. That way they are completely off and we would save energy.

3. There are many ways I can reduce the amount of energy I use at home. I can turn off lights that are not in use. I can also unplug things that we are not using so that they are completely turned off and not using energy that isn’t needed.

1. One thing that i learned is that out of all three Portland Middle Schools King uses the most energy per every student.

2. We could start using as many lights as we need. We could remove soem lights from each classrooms ceiling and we could only charge the labtops as much as they need to be charged and then we could unplug them to save very important electricity.

3. I could probably unplug my cellphone when it is done charging instead of leaving it plugged into the wall. I could also turn off lights in my house when I am not using them. I should turn my room light off when I am in the living room watching television.

1. I learned that King uses more energy during the winter than it does in the summer months. This is because of a few reasons. First, there are more people there during the school year, so they use more energy. Secondly, it’s colder and darker in the winter, so we have to use more lights and more heat.

2. To improve King’s energy use, we could unplug things when they are not in use, we could unplug laptopts when they are fully charged and we could turn off more lights.

3. At home to improve energy use, I could unplug the TV and stuff like that. I could also use floresent bulbs and turn off the lights when I wasn’t using them.
