They say stand-by on electronic also adds tons to the CO2 emissions - turn TVs and Hi-Fi's of at night... or at least during extended periods away from the home. Also, if they NEED to keep the PC on... off the monitor! Light-bulbs... change to energy savers... cheapest and easiest thing! Also, if you live in London and the class is teenagers nearing the driving age - tell them about the governments plans to tax the living day-lights out of high emission cars and also the £25 daily Congestion Charge for the city (even if you live there - the exemption will be scrapped for high-emission cars).

Answer 3

be sure to tell the kids that global warming is a hoax. how dare you take a phony political issue to my kids?  you need to indoctrinate them young so they believe your phony cause. i am offended by this behavior.your arguement is so weak that you have to indoctrinate children in to your way of believing.  i am also sure you use the gore/turner scare tactics as well. how many of the kids do you plan to keep up nights with your phony baloney?

Answer 4

You wish to scare kids away from the very resource you're currently using, and you fail to see the hypocrisy in that?  A clothesline will conserve more energy in a year than a lifetime of this computer power non-sense.

Answer 5

Create a list of other things they could do instead that is just as fun but would save energy...... Myspace Mobile...Facebook Mobile...
