1. Would you happen to know who handles the energy needs for BHS or the school district of Branford?
2. How many students are currently enrolled in BHS?
3. Of these students, what percentage would you say drive to school?
4. And, how many trips each student makes to and from school, for sports, extra curricular activities, etc?
5. How many take the bus?
6. This might seem like an odd question, but what do you think is the average trip length for kids who drive to school?
Now lets shift gears to energy usuage.
7. Do you know the number of MWh of electricity BHS uses a year?
8. And of the energy we use, what percent is from renewable energy sources?
9. How much natural gas does BHS use over the course of a school year?
I'd just like to ask a few questions about the waste we produce here at BHS...
10. How much of the waste we produce, ends up in a landfill?
11. How much of the waste is incinerated?
12. Well, now that I haved asked you about the things we produce, how do you think BHS could cut our emissions?
13. What solutions can you think of?
For starters: using more efficient light bulbs, carpooling, composting, recycled paper
14. Are any of these examples things we do currently?
15. And if not, what do we do to conserve energy at our school?
16. Are these the best ways to do so in your mind?
17. I understand we have a solar powered generator at BHS, how often is that used?
18. Is it enough, that it has payed for itself already?
19. Are there other alternative energy uses currently empoloyed at BHS or any of the schools in the district?
20. Since, I have collected all this data, would you like to know BHS' carbon footprint?
