SAVING ENERGY REPORT OF THE SURVEY CONDUCTED AMONG THE THE STUDENTS OF I.E.S. UROLA IKASTOLA AZKOITIA-AZPEITIA B.H.I. After 62 students answered the poll questionaire on energy, we can draw the following results:
• Most of the students in our school considered their energy consumption to be medium, that is, they consume from 7300 to 11000 kwh per year and family on average (%50). • Most of them walk to school, and they would willingly refuse to their own standard of life in the benefit of the enviroment. Besides they usually sort out trash, switch off lights and electrical appliances when they leave a room.
•
Our school’s students support renewable energies, such as solar (48%), wind (11%), water power (13%).
• They are in favor of shutting down nuclear power stations because of the risk of accidents and the radioactive waste they produce. 10% of the students who are against the closing down of nukes alleged that nuclear power stations are an easy way to get energy and they don't produce Green House Gases. • Overall, they agree that they should decrease the amount of energy they consume, and that this consuption should also be decreased on a global basis. To conclude, considering our geographical situation and natural resources the environment provides us with, we take a position for the use of renewable energies as we think it the best way for us to SAVE ENERGY
