WE CREATED A SURVEY TO HELP US UNDERSTAND HOW AWARE OUR COMMUNITY IS OF SAVING ELECTRICITY. THE SURVEY CONSISTS OF TEN QUESTIONS ABOUT ELECTRICAL EFFICIENCY IN YOUR LIVING ENVIRONMENT. THE ANSWERS TO THE QUESTIONS TELL US HOW AWARE PEOPLE ARE OF SAVING ELECTRICITY. THE SURVEY ALSO MADE PEOPLE REALIZE JUST HOW MUCH THEY TAKE ELECTRICITY FOR GRANTED. ELECTRICAL EFFICIENCY

Interesting Facts Every year, more than $13 billion worth of energy leaks from houses through small holes and cracks. That’s more than $150 per family. A compact fluorescent light bulb uses 75 percent less energy than a regular bulb and it can last up to four years.

Continued... An energy-smart clothes washer can save more water in one year than one person drinks in an entire lifetime. Surprisingly a toaster would use 1,000 watts an hour compared to 75 watts for a laptop on for the same period of time.

CONCLUSION Our results show that the majority of our community saves electricity. What most people don’t know is that there are many very simple ways to save electricity for example, unplugging your TV and cell phone charger or insulating your geyser. Hopefully our survey made the people, that we questioned, more aware of the simple ways to save electricity. Done By: Emma Dachs, Alex Barrett, Julia Buswell and Odein Princewill.
