In our last session at St Edwards the children pondered over what is is a renewable energy source that is used every day at school? The answer-Brain Power! So we are going to use that power to become energy smart over the coming weeks. The children are very aware of the multiple televisions and computers we now find in our homes. The home electronics market is constantly innovating, and new products such as DVRs, game systems, and rechargeable electronic devices are becoming ever more integral to our modern lifestyle. As a result of these changes, appliances and electronics (including refrigerators) now account for nearly one-third of all energy used in homes. A first step into conserving energy with the Bright Sparks and the first exerciise for our brain power to get working is to consider which room in the house uses the most lights? Over the next couple of weeks a form will come out to you from the Bright Sparks team. Please return back to the school as soon as possible.

Thank you for supporting the Bright Sparks project

■Challenge your family to "go green." Walk, bicycle, carshare or take the bus to reduce greenhouse gases and get outdoors!
■Make a "pledge" to reduce your energy use and recycle.
