Green Cup Challenge 
Reminder that the Green Cup challenge is starting Wednesday, January 20. Over the course of the next month we will be competing against other prep schools to decrease our energy consumption. This years goal is to decrease our monthly energy consumption by 2 percent, and weekly by .5 percent.

Our current energy consumption use in one week is 104,000 kilowatts per hour. That is 15,000 dollars per week! Daily updates will provide tips on how to decrease energy consumption.
