Green Energy Technology in the City
Green Energy Technology in the City (Get City) is awarded a Certificate in Partnership!
On July 9th, 2008, the Green Energy Technology in the City (GET City) program presented a study of environmental awareness among Lansing residents to a panel that included members of the Go Green! Advisory Committee and other important policy makers in Lansing. GET City is a program that provides children with educational experiences in advanced information technologies, energy sustainability, and environmental health. It allows them to explore careers and to benefit from role models and mentors.
In their study, students learned not only about Lansing resident's environmental knowledge and habits, but also how to write, administer, and analyze a survey. The students focused on the five points of the Go Green! Personal Pledge and how Lansing residents have implemented these activities to reduce their carbon footprint. Based on the information they collected, they provided conclusions and recommendations for the panel.
GET City was also awarded a certificate of partnership by Taylor Heins, the Go Green! Initiative Director, to recognize their commitment to the Greater Lansing community and the Go Green! Initiative.
Le'Darrius, a GET City presenter, holds the Go Green! Certificate of Partnership. The award was given to the GET City students for their outstanding work and commitment to energy efficiency and environmental protection.
