 * BEYOND EARTH HOUR CHALLENGE RESULTS

Congratulations the winning school is Canterbury Boys High School. They reduced their electricity consumption by 33.5% over the 4 weeks of the Earth Hour Challenge. This meant that the school reduced its greenhouse gas emissions by 5760kgs and reduced their expenditure by $487. What a fantastic result for the school and a great win for the environment!!! The runner up school, very close behind, was Ashfield Boys High School who reduced their electricity consumption by 32%. Thanks go to Energy Australia for their support of the Beyond Earth Hour Challenge.

CONGRATULATIONS TO THE WINNERS AND ALSO TO ALL SCHOOLS WHO HAVE REDUCED ENERGY USAGE. CONGRATULATIONS TO NEWTOWN HS also for organising a special ceremony at their school for signing the Climate Change Protocol. (see Milo's post on Earth Hour Discussion Page) It is not just about winning: it is about each school trying to reduce and trying to educate their school community about climate change. Newtown have done this by actually getting that protocol signed! WELL DONE!! If other schools have signed the protocol please post your message so we can all share our success stories.
