Our good friend Elizabeth will tell you more about it in the latest SmartPower Minute, too.
Whether you are the parent of high school or college student, or a young student yourself, you know that today’s generation of teenagers and college students use more electronics and energy than any in history.
And who can blame them. There is just so much cool and convenient technology available. Even, I have a Wii, an iPhone and all sorts of other gadgets—and it’s been a couple moons since I’ve been in a dorm room (I mean . . . not too many).
When you go to LetsGetEnergySmart.com, you’ll get connected to excellent stuff that can help you or someone you know find different, unique ways to conserve energy and be more energy efficient.
For starters, you will be connected to the social networking Web site ClimateCulture.com. On Climate Culture you will find a unique virtual world that you can trick out with solar panels, windmills and other clean energy stuff as you commit to taking small steps to reduce your real world energy use. And you’ll be able to connect with others, who are joining by the thousands, the same way you can on Facebook or MySpace.
LetsGetEnergySmart.com also connects you to the America’s Greenest Campus contest, where you’ll learn how you can win big money for your school or Alma Mater to go towards its campus environmental efforts.
Something else important is that you’ll be able to learn about the SmartPower $10,000 Energy Smart Ad Challenge. Basically, we’re giving away $10K to who ever can create the best 30-second ad that will inspire other young people to be more Energy Smart.
