Do you know what solar energy is? Are you familiar with alternative energy? Do you know how to save energy? What about your kids, do they know who Tinker Bell is?
The US Department of Energy has a great web site for kids to learn all about energy efficiency. They will tell you how to use energy, the different kinds of renewable energy and they have games to help the kids learn all that. The site is designed for kids in kindergarten through high school.
Here’s a quiz. How many kilowatt hours do most US homes use every month? (A kilowatt is the energy needed to light a 100-watt light bulb for 10 hours.) Is it –9, --19, --93, --938, or --9380? Go over to kids home page to find out more information.
The kids today are the next generation who may or may not be able to buy energy from an electric company. They will want to produce their own and sell it to others. Start teaching your kids now and they will save the planet.
You can also check out the energy savings that shows you information on solar water and pool heating, alternative fuels, and many other alternative energy ideas. So, do you want to save the planet?
