More than 40 Montgomery County schools have teams of students pursuing greater energy efficiency
In the Montgomery County (Md.) district, 42 middle and high schools have established Green Teams of students that promote efficient and responsible energy use. Schools must apply to be part of the program; those that are accepted are given tools, such as light meters and infrared temperature guns, to measure energy use. Schools compete for annual awards of up to $5,000 based on a percentage of energy savings.
