Beep Project educates youth about energy efficiency benefits
As part of the biggest Bosnia Energy Efficiency Project – BEEP in five primary schools in Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina workshops were organized about energy efficiency. Goal of workshops was to introduce children to smart usage of energy, which they have to accept and use in everyday life, in their homes or schools.
More of 250 pupils watched animated movie about causes and effects of climate changes on Earth: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7FhlhEDqtso. After film screening, children met its main character Beepster.
”Your Planet is suffering” –Beepster warned pupils, and invited them to became little heroes and with their energy efficient behaviour save Planet Earth. Beepster also gave them some advices: “Don’t leave running water, use compact fluorescent lamp, plant a tree.” He addressed his messages to more than 250 pupils from Primary School in Mostar, Primary school “Crnići” from Stolac, Primary School “Hašim Spahić” from Ilijaš, Primary School “Hamdija Kreševljaković” from Kakanj and Primary School “Musa Ćazim Ćatić” from Zenica.
Beepster also introduced children to energy efficient behaviour with help of his unique machine “Beepomat”, which illustrates how irrational usage of energy from fossil fuels leads to global warming. But surprises for children kept coming. Termovisional camera that shows how much energy consumes even when electrical appliances are on stand by mode.
This faze of project Beep reflects strong need to different energy saving mechanisms which starts on individual level. Beepsters message was not addressed only to children. It is truth which each individual should carry on for the future generations. Each individual who considers about future, with his responsible behaviour can become hero, and secure sustainable and ecology oriented development of Planet Earth.
