Very interesting hearing 6 years olds talk about efficiency and conservation (most common, “turn off the lights” and “we don’t use the AC”). Almost every child we spoke with knew to at least turn off the lights, so it’s safe to say the conservation message is getting out! Having the coloring sheets helped this year because it gave us an interactive activity to do with the kids while telling them about efficiency practices they could do at home and in their classes.
