How It Works

of energy-related Action Projects. Work individually, as a class, as
a club or as a school. Help us move the meter to our goal—ONE MILLION
Kilowatt Hour-Saving Points!!
Scoring Kilowatt Hour-Saving Points
Every MKHC-approved energy-related Action Project will be awarded a
pre-determined amount of Kilowatt Hour-Saving Points. Some project point
values—such as ideas submitted by students—will need to
be determined. Deadline for all MKHC Action Projects is March 15, 2003.
