Energy wise schools program: supporting local schools to raise energy awareness and reduce climate footprints

Abstract

The Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority (GBRMPA) sponsored the Energy Wise Schools program from 2007 to 2009. The program, which is delivered by the Holloways Beach Environmental Education Centre, works with local schools to improve their energy efficiency and to raise awareness among students about energy use behaviour and the implications for the Great Barrier Reef.
