| Environmental Club members Sabrina Boutselis and Laurie-Maude Chenard talk about the club's Home Energy Evaluation Fundraiser
At the end of the program, Environmental Club members shared information about a fundraising program being held to both raise money for the club and to improve energy efficiency in Andover homes. The name of the program is SEED (Sustainable Energy Education Drive) and offers free home energy evaluations to Andover residents who sign up. During the 2-3 hour energy assessment conducted by Next Step Living, participants receive instant savings measures such as installation of energy-efficient bulbs as well as information on and access to rebates and incentives for other money and energy saving solutions at home. The AHS Environmental Club receives up to $50.00 for each assessment. The funds will be used to improve energy efficiency efforts at Andover High School, so the program benefits students, home owners, the school, and the environment.
