Book Cover & Preview Text
Then Dr. Gove said, “Is there anyone in this school who would like to help to save our earth?”
We ALL raised our hands and shouted “Yes!”
“That’s wonderful,” said Dr. Gove. “I will show you how to save electricity. Each of your classrooms can make a plan to save lots of electricity and have smaller carbon footprints. Then, you will all be working to save our earth.”
Dr. Gove said she would give each of us six of the new kind of light bulbs, called CFLs. A CFL uses much less electricity than the older kind of bulb but still gives about the same amount of light.
We can take the CFL bulbs home and put them in our lamps. This will let us use less electricity and make our parents electric bills less expensive. Our parents will like that a lot!
