Saving energy at our school We have 2 energy managers in each class.They close the windows and switch off the light. We have saved a lot of energy in the last years.Each year we get 50% of the money we have saved.50% gets the town. This project is called fifty-fifty.There is a competition at our school for the best energy managers.
Solar energy We have solar panels on our roof. People from Rastatt could buy them and sell the electricity to a company. We have our own solar panels and get the money for the energy.
