Young people must become actively involved in identifying and developing alternative energy sources. Suggestions are offered for projects, activities, and further reading. (Author/MLF)

A compendium of energy ideas and concepts, primarily concerning natural gas and electricity, that have been implemented within the Columbus (Ohio) Public School system. (MLF)

ingency on oil supplies will recur later in the 1980s, confirming the need for careful energy planning. Among the factors to be taken into account are: changes in values that affect how people use energy; centralized solutions versus solutions geared to individual and regional needs; and effective use of conservation.

This manual is a resource guide on energy conservation for teaching environmental education in grades seven to twelve. It contains 25 student activities which are grouped into four goal oriented units. The main objectives of the project are to increase the student's understanding that: (1) Natural laws limit energy availability; (2) Energy…

With the Arab oil embargo of 1973, the United States became aware of its dependence on foreign fuel to maintain its productive capacity, employment base, political autonomy, strategic security, and living standard. An engineering Task Force on Energy was appointed to provide an informed assessment of the realistic strategies that could be…

Describes the use of the net energy concept in the classroom as well as its influence on technology. (LS)

Because of their automotive lifestyles, Americans account for the greatest portion of fossil fuel consumption in the world. The desirable leisure lifestyle traits of the past should be incorporated into contemporary American culture. Americans need to wean themselves away from the automobile if the energy crisis is to be solved. (JN)

Energy management is seen as a necessity for educational institutions. If reductions are not achieved there will need to be economies in other areas of the budget in order to meet energy cost increases. Budgets which used to include 2 percent for energy costs are now having to allow ll percent. (Author/MLW)
