Renewable energy lesson plans

I'm pretty excited about this. I found Renewable Energy Lesson Plans for elementary, middle, and high school aged kids all on one site. In fact, I might even work through these lessons myself, in order to learn more.

It seems to me that these are the energy systems of the future and we should all become more familiar with them. I have a solar panel, two deep cycle batteries, and a generator in order to set up at least part of my home off-grid. This will reduce my dependence on the power company while saving me some money on utilities.

My TV is fairly low wattage, so I can eliminate my sound system to further reduce the wattage and simply run hdmi video cables from a small DVD player and a game console for movie watching or streaming.

I am switching over to LED lighting, and reducing my electrical needs not only to save money but also to further reduce my carbon footprint on this planet we call home.
