Fun Fact of the Week!! According to Powerhosuekids.com, "A hot water faucet that leaks one drop per second can add up to a 165 gallons a month. That's more than one person uses in two weeks!!" Make sure you fully turn off all faucets! Thanks for all your effort and keep working hard to conserve energy! :)

According to American Almanac, "Though accounting for only 5 percent of the world's population, Americans consume 26 percent of the world's energy". Think of how much energy we can save by just turning off our computer screens. Thanks for the effort and keep up the good work in the Green Cup Challenge!
