Energy EcoTrackers

Monitor, evaluate, and celebrate success

Enlist both students and adults in school-wide energy-consumption monitoring.

Tips:

• Create an EcoTracker team, identified by T-shirts or badges, that monitors lights and other electronics (computer monitors, smartboards, LCD projectors) to ensure everything is turned off when not in use.
• Keep track and report back: checklists, report cards, green points, stickers, and stars are some ways to track habits and celebrate change.
• Investigate energy use: use Ontario EcoSchools’ Classroom Lighting Assessment or School Energy Consumption Assessment to investigate the impact of everyday energy use in your school. Share your results for a larger impact.
