El Education: Do the Green Thing

7th and 8th grade students at Capital City Public Charter School created this guide to energy efficiency as the capstone project to a seven-month expedition on Green Building. During this expedition students worked under the guidance of an interdisciplinary team of teachers (science, humanities, math and art) to learn about smart energy use. Through partnerships with the Alliance to Save Energy and the U.S. Green Building Council, as well as input from a green building expert, Capital City's students explored the problem of over-consumption alternatives.
