SUGGESTED POLICY

We are suggesting to Maple Elementary to turn off some lighting in rooms In classrooms In cafeteria In library

ROOMS LIKE ROOM 1 We suggest that they turn off

21 light tubes (7 light cubes) This means we turn off

Two side rowsOne middle row

Open the curtain to the windows

ROOMS LIKE R00M 12 We suggest that they

turn off 32 light tubes Open the windows for more lighting That is the 2nd switch off

CAFETERIA We suggest that they

Turn 1 switch off Turns of two tubes per cube (Left & right)

Open all the front curtains

LIBRARY We suggest they

Turn 2 switches off per section Turns off 3 cubes off From other cubes turns one tube off

HUMAN COMFORT AND SAVING MONEY We asked a student and she said she could be

able to work in the amount of light shown She said she felt comfortable

We asked a janitor if he would mind to open curtain in cafeteria He said it was no bother

We found out how much the cost will be $1, 924 per year

Money will not go to the school Sacramento District will save money

AIR POLLUTION Turning your lights will not only save

money but help by producing less pollution

They can all harm our planet Sometimes these are out of our reach

But saving energy reduces pollution There are four consequences of

pollution

ACID RAIN It’s rain that has the PH lower than level

5.6 PH- How acidic liquid is This can destroy

Cultural lifeAnimal life

Makes other acidic contents If you turn off your lights, you can reduce acid rain.

ACID RAIN We are creating a lot of Carbon Dioxide,

turning your lights can reduce it If we put more CO2 we are creating more

CO3 pollution

CO2+H20=H2CO3

CO3 is bad because we have more pollution at ground level

OTHER BAD CHEMICALS Sulfur dioxide (SO2) Sulfur trioxide (SO3) Nitrogen dioxide (NO2) To much of these three chemicals is

worse than CO3

SO2+H2O=H2SO3 Sulfurous acid SO3+H20=H2SO4 Sulfuric acid 2NO2+H20=HNO3+HNO2 Nitrous

acid Nitric acid

AIR TEMPERATURE Regularly air goes up intoatmosphere with pollution In Sacramento air stays trapped in the lower atmosphere. Creating bad amounts of ozone at ground level

OZONEN2+02+ Energy= 2NO2

2No+ O2= 2NO2

NO2+ Sunlight= NO+O

O+O2+ O3

We create these chemicals, creating to much ozone

OZONE Ozone is good to have at ground level Good because

It keeps climate consistent

To much is not goodChanges climate

HOW OTHER COMPANIES CREATE ELECTRICITY

Coal is dug up and send to boats Boats deliver Coal to power plants Burned to make heat and water makes

steam Goes inside generator Sends electricity to wire and its pushed

out by voltage transformers

ELECTRICITY MADE BY SMUD SMUD is a good electricity company

because Uses natural gases

Easily transported Cleanest fossil fuel

The gas turbine uses hot gases released from burning the natural gas to turn the turbine generates electricity

REMEMBER: ACT LOCALLY, THINK GLOBALLY

Thank you for your time!
