10 April 2010 Climate cops bring £7,000 boost to Rowley Regis school
CLIMATE cops visited a Rowley Regis school to help the children investigate renewable energy and how to become greener and more energy efficient. As part of the programme, npower also donated £7,500 to replace five windows with double glazing to help save seven tonnes of CO2 a year - an estimate annual cost saving of more than £1,000 - at Rowley Hall Primary School. A group of 85 eight to 10-year-olds were treated to a special fun day learning about climate change in which they were shown simple ways to save energy with activities including generating electricity with body movement, working with miniature examples of renewable energy sources,using thermal imaging cameras to see how much heat is emitted from the human body and the effects of insulation. Headteacher Lynda Townsend said: The children really enjoyed the day. It taught them about climate change and saving energy in a fun, engaging way. They've learnt some simple ways to conserve energy that will make a big difference to the school, their homes and the environment.
