Why Help Us?

Posted on June 1, 2008
Filed Under About, Fundraising |

Before helping a cause, everyone wants to know, “Why?” On this blog, we have had a page up for some time now extensively detailing all the reasons why - but the length of the page seems to be intimidating. Solution? Condense the material.

.

So, for those who are pressed for time, I have condensed the reasons why you should help into one, short paragraph.

.

The goals of the TJSPI have both an ecological and educational aspect. Although the consequences of using renewable energy are well-known, namely, independence from fossil fuels and a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, the educational impacts of this project are also immense. TJHSST has an Energy Systems Lab and associated classes. One of the technologies students in these classes study are forms of renewable energy, especially solar energy. Although studying about these systems is beneficial, having a working solar panel array would be phenomenal. And lastly, the solar panels would reduce the energy costs of the school, allowing funds to be redirected to desperately underfunded areas.

Still have questions? Please do not hesitate to visit our page fully detailing the benefits here, or email us at the.tjspi@gmail.com for more information

    the educational aspects are often under appreciated. think of all the new freshmen who will experience the solar panel for the first time and then tell their parents about it. This could cause a ripple effect once some tell their base-school friends and then it cascades from there…

    Varun is a beast and the TJSPI deserves this 100%.
