Schools: Wasting Energy Since Forever (But Don’t Worry, It’s Changing)
When whoever it was in whenever it was said “I propose a wonderful idea and it shall be a place of learning where children may learn about science, history and the arts!” they weren’t really thinking about how, in many years, we would be struggling as a race to do simple things like heat a home without needing to take out a second mortgage (mainly because the word mortgage probably hadn’t been invented yet, don’t forget). Who could blame them? Horses did the trick for travel, and cars? Well, there was no reason to think that all that terrible black crap they puffed out was going to harm our glorious earth, was there. Only someone didn’t do their research, did they? Woops. Because of that we now have millions of cars that pollute, and schools which are about as energy efficient as climbing a flight of stairs with a piano tied to your back. But have no fear! Finally schools, with all their children running about putting lights on in the daytime and general energy wasting shenanigans, are redeeming themselves. You can read all about it at Enigin PLC: http://www.eniginliaison.com/2010/07/15/enigin-energy-saving-solutions-for-schools/ Better late than never, that’s what I say. If schools can turn themselves around then anyone can, and with new government incentives targeted specifically at the smaller members of our community (not that you can blame them for wasting energy with the amount they have) it would seem that we are taking a new direction. One which might seriously make a difference in the long run, and let’s hope so. Well done to Schools!
