Summary
Our target was to reduce our electrical consumption by 10% during a one month period (19th March – 27th April 2012). We did this to reduce the amount of electrical energy the school wastes and the impact this has on the environment.
During this time we reduced our consumption by a staggering 10.36%.
Week 1: 23.89%
Week 2: 12.35%
Week 3: 16.74%
Week 4: -11.54%
