BRANTFORD, ON – Students at Pauline Johnson Collegiate and Vocational School have teamed up with the Kiwanis Club of Brantford, the Pauline Johnson Key Club, a Kiwanis sponsored youth program, and Brantford Power to help promote energy conservation.
Key Club members at the school yesterday traded old-style 60-watt incandescent light bulbs brought in by students for energy-efficient compact fluorescent bulbs.
Compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs) cost more than regular light bulbs, but can use 75% less energy and last years longer. One CFL can save three times its cost in electricity over its lifetime.
“We are very pleased that Pauline Johnson students have recognized the importance of energy conservation. If we all do our part to conserve electricity, it will make a difference to the environment,” said George Mychailenko, CEO, Brantford Power.
Crystal Glaves, President of the Kiwanis Club of Brantford, said the Kiwanis have a long tradition of helping young people serve their schools and community, and build a positive future for themselves. “Energy conservation is an issue that concerns us all so we are delighted to help sponsor the Pauline Johnson students in this initiative,” she said.
Pauline Johnson Key Club President Kemar Hayles said that the club was delighted to be part of a small step that will help students and youth promote a culture of energy conservation.
Earlier this month, the Ontario government announced its intention to ban the sale of inefficient incandescent light bulbs by 2012. It’s estimated that replacing all 87 million incandescent bulbs in Ontario households with CFLs would save six million megawatts annually – enough to power 600,000 homes.
