EPA与Dosomething.org和LG Electronics合作，让青年帮助家人节省能源在家中
Initiative Uses Dr. Seuss’ the Lorax to Get Youth Excited in Energy Saving Efforts
WASHINGTON, June 12, 2012 /3BL Media/ – The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) today announced the launch of Team ENERGY STAR®, a new, exciting initiative from EPA’s ENERGY STAR program developed to engage and educate American youth and their families about saving energy in the home.
Team ENERGY STAR empowers kids to help protect the climate through easy-to-implement, money-saving actions and provides them an outlet for sharing their passion for preserving our environment. And, with Dr. Seuss’ the Lorax as the engaging theme for Team ENERGY STAR, kids can learn and have fun at the same time.
Dosomething.org是美国青少年和社会变革的最大组织之一，以及美国LG Electronics，通过经营自己的团队能源之星挑战赛加入了EPA。鼓励孩子们分享他们的节能故事，并得到EPA的认可，并从Dosomething.org和LG提供了额外的回报。
EPA大气计划办公室主任莎拉·邓纳姆（Sarah Dunham）表示：“团队能源之星是使年轻人参与我们两个关键问题的好方法 - 节省能量并保护气候。”“让我们国家的年轻人今天有所作为将在确保更清洁，更可持续的未来方面产生很大的影响。”
“Besides rocking a sweet moustache, the Lorax is an outstanding protector of the environment – just like our young people,” said DoSomething.org’s Campaigns Manager, April Wright. We’ve seen over and over again that our teens really care about the environment, which is why we were more than excited to help support Team ENERGY STAR.”
LG Electronics USA市场营销高级副总裁James Fishler表示：“ Team Energy Star是一项创新的倡议，它将帮助家庭找到创造性的方法来节省能源和金钱，同时帮助拯救地球。LG很荣幸能与Dosomething.org联合起来参加这一有趣的挑战，在该挑战中，孩子们可以赢得赢得智能手机，电视和计算机监视器等酷炫LG产品的机会。”
孩子们可以通过访问Energystar.gov/team加入团队能量明星，在那里他们将获得易于下载的教育和互动材料，例如全面的动作套件，能源之星家庭检查，Lorax活动小册子和Lorax慕斯制品套件。还鼓励孩子们回来并分享他们关于保护环境的故事，以节省能源，这些能量将在Energystar.gov/changetheworld和整个社交媒体上展示。
Team ENERGY STAR is part of the multi-year, EPA campaign, Change the World, Start with ENERGY STAR, developed to engage Americans of all ages in saving energy, money and protecting the environment with ENERGY STAR. If every American household took part in the Change the World, Start with ENERGY STAR Pledge, we would: Save more than 126 billion kWh/yr of electricity, save $18 billion in annual energy costs, and prevent greenhouse gases equivalent to the emissions from 20 million cars.
