The R.E.E.F. club at the high school introduced a version of this called "Earth Period" where the last Friday of every month the school turns off all classroom electronics, including lights, computers, and smartboards, for one period. The custodial staff, also, contributes to the events by turning off every four out of five hallway lights during the Earth Period.
Our goal is to reduce Harrison's carbon footprint by educating the students and faculty to be more conscious about their everyday use of energy.
Our first Earth Period will take place on Friday, November 18th, during periods 8 & 9. We ask that you participate and turn off all classroom electronics to help make a difference.
