Our Robotics Team decided that we wanted to
expand our horizons and ‘Go Green’. We sat
around a table in the library one day after
school and discussed ways in which we can
help our town and possibly even start a
trend of environmental activities to save
our Earth. Then it came to us, solar panels!
Within four years they will have paid for
themselves and for 46 years after that they
will be saving money while helping to reduce
pollution in the environment by bypassing
the use of harmful fossil fuels. We plan on
writing letters to our government officials
hoping to get their support for our
green-venture. In the mean time, we plan on
doing local area clean-ups to beautify our
town. Once we get the okay to carry out our
plan, we will begin to raise money for a
small system of solar panels, and add more
over time. Hopefully we will be able to get
surrounding districts to do the same!
