South Allegheny’s Energy Angels bring home Polar Bear award
Steph Mandella, Alex Ruhl, and Jenni Urban were beaming with smiles and fighting off tears after winning Polar Bears International`s Project Polar Bear, during an awards ceremony at Sea World San Diego.
On Saturday, South Allegheny High School`s Energy Angels beat out three other finalist teams, which consisted of teens creating community projects to reduce carbon emissions.
"The winning team scored high in all categories and exhibited a full understanding of the scope of the project," said one of judges,It was quick and light when I used dsttマジコン on a Windows 7 laptop, and gave me no trouble throughout a day of rigorous testing.Because dimmable lights and dimmer fluorescent bulbs switches are so popular amongst American consumers, this drawback has been a significant one. whose name was not revealed by Polar Bears International.In the case of Cree a significant led light bulbs amount of their LED sales come from the purchase of Cotco whose primary focus was on moving message panels used in displays/electronic bill boards.
"I`m so honored by this experience," said Jenni when accepting the grand prize. "I just want to congratulate the other teams because they were amazing, too."
The four finalists present at the ceremony were collectively responsible for preventing 10 million pounds of carbon dioxide emissions, Polar Bears International said. Each team and an advisor won an all-expenses-paid trip to San Diego for the awards ceremony.
Over the weekend, they also received free admission and behind-the-scenes tours at the San Diego Zoo and Sea World San Diego.
Energy Angels` project was to raise money to purchase and distribute CFL bulbs while promoting awareness for energy conservation.
"Our goal was 200 CFL bulbs, and we handed out 2,000," Jenni said.
They distributed energy saving bulbs to shelters,it may become necessary for Cree to look at led bulb purchasing additional LED lighting fixture firs in order to increase their market penetration in this area. the Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank and other areas in their local neighborhoods.
"It was a close contest," Polar Bears International executive vice president Krista Wright said. "But the Energy Angels` tireless and passionate outreach, upbeat blog entries and success with community involvement especially impressed the judges."
"Saving energy is easy and something anyone can do," Alex said.
The Energy Angels` science teacher/advisor Jenna Whitney said the girls had to raise every dollar themselves. They started with bake sales, and then went to community outreach meetings.
"All three brought specific and important aspects to the table to make this project a success,Light up the architecturally table lamps interesting parts of your home." Whitney said.
The team also sold polar bear cutouts to their classmates, asking them to pledge to make a difference. Students` names were displayed on the cutouts in school hallways when they committed to make energy-saving changes, Steph said.
Margie Marks, curator of conservation education for the Pittsburgh Zoo & PPG Aquarium, has been working with teens since the zoo became an arctic ambassador for Polar Bears International in 2007. Marks worked with Energy Angels for the duration of their project and attended the awards ceremony.
"The girls were an inspiration to us every day," Marks said. "They worked so hard."
For their grand prize, the Energy Angels will travel to Churchill, Manitoba, in Canada in October to study polar bears in the wild.
"My advice to future participants would be to keep working," Steph said. "Even if it`s hard, because it`s worth it in the end."
