DAY 5
UNPLUG… Phantom Loads (anything not in use) can account for 10-20-even 30% of a household’s energy use.
Over 75% of U.S. energy production comes from burning fossil fuels which produce C02 that is naturally absorbed by the ocean..
BUT excessive amounts cause ph levels to drop..leading to the destruction of coral reefs and shellfish
Save energy & amp; money : unplug chargers, appliances, and other electrical devices
- using a power strip is a convenient way to do this-
Also, for good measure, turn off lights when you leave the room.
Challenge:
What is calcium carbonate?
What do coral reefs and shellfish have in common?
