Envirolution staff and volunteers have been busy t Envirolution staff and volunteers have been busy the past two days installing new LED lights at Dayton Intermediate School. This project was part of their 7th grade Project ReCharge student proposal and will save the school almost $9000 in energy costs yearly! A special thanks to all our volunteers from the staff, students, Tesla and Helix Electric of Nevada, we couldn't have made this a reality without all of you! #Envirolution #ProjectRecharge #Tesla #Daytonintermediateschool #Helixelectric #volunteering #LED #makingadifference
On Saturday, November 7th, Envirolution hosted a p On Saturday, November 7th, Envirolution hosted a park cleanup at Pickett Park. We had 15 people turn out to help us clean up the park, including some employees from Tesla and some members of the local service fraternity, Alpha Phi Omega. We collected 36 pounds worth of trash and filled two large jars with cigarette butts. Did you know that around 4.5 trillion cigarette butts are littered worldwide each year? And only 10% of cigarette butts are disposed of properly. Our hope is that by documenting the amount of cigarette butts we collect at the park, we can get funding for a permanent ashtray receptacle at this location. Thank you to everyone that participated in this clean up! #Envirolution #Tesla #alphaphiomega #UNR #reno #parkcleanup #volunteering #sustainability

Today is National Energy Efficiency Day and we are Today is National Energy Efficiency Day and we are celebrating by highlighting a Project ReCharge student-driven project. The robotics team, DIRT, at Dayton Intermediate School, submitted a proposal to replace their school's 25-watt fluorescent tube lighting with 15 watt LED tubes. This change will save the school close to $9,000 a year in energy savings while offsetting over 128,000 lbs of CO2. "This real-world learning provides valuable workforce development as students learn how to solve energy and sustainability problems in their homes, school, and community," said their teacher Dusti Houk. Dayton Intermediate will not have to invest any money for the retrofit thanks to our partnerships with NV Energy and their "Smart Schools" program and a grant provided by Tesla and it's K-12 Nevada Education Gift fund. A previous student lighting retrofit at Pyramid Lake Jr/Sr High School was the source of the Smart Schools rebate that will be utilized. "Once the lighting project at Dayton is completed, the rebate will be used to fund the next student project," explained Vanessa Robertson, Co-Executive director of Envirolution. Envirolution is continually working with schools, businesses, and the community to inspire the next generation that will drive the growth of a sustainable economy. #envirolution #energyefficiencyday #nvenergy #Tesla #daytonintermediateschool #lyoncountyschooldistrict #SWenergyefficiency #NevadaGovernorsofficeofenergy #projectrecharge
