METHODOLOGY:
Approximately 150 brochures/ flyers were distributed amongst the parents to brief them on effective energy utilization.
The next day, we made many posters, banners and also performed a skit to bring awareness amongst students. Survey forms were distributed to estimate the average electricity consumptions at homes on regular basis.

JOINING HANDS… GOING A STEP FURTHER
Design for Change“Save Energy”
We took an initiative to extend our awareness campaign and promote the idea in Cambridge II campus as well, so as to have a joint venture and work in collaboration for a better and an effective outcome.
DISAPPOINTMENT!To bring about change it always takes time! We went on, in search of a positive response….. We all were highly disappointed because the students did not fill up the form. NOW …. Design for Change
“Save Energy”
TRYING AGAIN!…our teacher motivated us that its not the end! She raised our hopes, we worked harder to the best of our ability.We restarted campaigning all over again; distributed the forms and gave a lecture for about 15 minutes in each class.
involved parents as well by sending them a circular asking them to help their child to fill up the forms.
Finally we managed………….to get a positive response from 500 families not individuals….

ANALYSING AND COMPILING THE DATA
Design for Change“Save Energy”
The data forms were analyzed and the initial and final meter readings were recorded on the survey forms to draw the difference between the two.
The final conclusion was drawn and we achieved a remarkable output and were able to save 1961 units of electrical energy in just one day.

NOT to stop here! Solution to this problem demands continuous smart use of energy which can make our future bright So………
We decided NOT TO STOP HERE and make a habit by practicing this activity at least twice a month.
We also have plans to introduce the ENERGY SAVING DAY in other branches of Beaconhouse as well as in other schools.
