  1. Green Vs. Green By: Aaron Andrade, Denise Miranda, Jazmin Hernandez, and Araceli Sanchez

  2. Suggested Policy • We are suggesting to Maple Elementary to turn off some lighting in rooms • In classrooms • In cafeteria • In library

  3. Rooms like room 1 • We suggest that they turn off • 21 light tubes (7 light cubes) • This means we turn off • Two side rows • One middle row • Open the curtain to the windows

  4. Rooms like r00m 12 • We suggest that they • turn off 32 light tubes • Open the windows for more lighting • That is the 2nd switch off

  5. Cafeteria • We suggest that they • Turn 1 switch off • Turns of two tubes per cube (Left & right) • Open all the front curtains

  6. Library • We suggest they • Turn 2 switches off per section • Turns off 3 cubes off • From other cubes turns one tube off

  7. Human Comfort and Saving money • We asked a student and she said she could be able to work in the amount of light shown • She said she felt comfortable • We asked a janitor if he would mind to open curtain in cafeteria • He said it was no bother • We found out how much the cost will be • $1, 924 per year • Money will not go to the school • Sacramento District will save money • Teachers • Programs

  8. Air pollution • Turning your lights will not only save money but help by producing less pollution • They can all harm our planet • Sometimes these are out of our reach • But saving energy reduces pollution • There are four consequences of pollution

  9. Acid Rain • It’s rain that has the PH lower than level 5.6 • PH- How acidic liquid is • This can destroy • Cultural life • Animal life • Makes other acidic contents • If you turn off your lights, you can reduce acid rain.

  10. Acid Rain • We are creating a lot of Carbon Dioxide, turning your lights can reduce it • If we put more CO2 we are creating more • CO3 • pollution • CO2+H20=H2CO3 • CO3 is bad because we have more pollution at ground level

  11. Other bad chemicals • Sulfur dioxide (SO2) • Sulfur trioxide (SO3) • Nitrogen dioxide (NO2) • To much of these three chemicals is worse than CO3 • SO2+H2O=H2SO3 Sulfurous acid • SO3+H20=H2SO4 Sulfuric acid • 2NO2+H20=HNO3+HNO2 Nitrous acid Nitric acid

  12. Air temperature • Regularly air goes up into atmosphere with pollution • In Sacramento air stays trapped in the lower atmosphere. • Creating bad amounts of ozone at ground level

  13. Ozone N2+02+ Energy= 2NO2 2No+ O2= 2NO2 NO2+ Sunlight= NO+O O+O2+ O3 • We create these chemicals, creating to much ozone

  14. Ozone • Ozone is good to have at ground level • Good because • It keeps climate consistent • To much is not good • Changes climate

  15. How Other companies create electricity • Coal is dug up and send to boats • Boats deliver Coal to power plants • Burned to make heat and water makes steam • Goes inside generator • Sends electricity to wire and its pushed out by voltage transformers

  16. Electricity Made by SMUD • SMUD is a good electricity company because • Uses natural gases • Easily transported • Cleanest fossil fuel • The gas turbine uses hot gases released from burning the natural gas • to turn the turbine • generates electricity
