Through the GECCo program, Cadettes investigate how and where energy is produced and used, learn about climate change, and develop skills in using media to spread the word about saving energy. They become leaders in the fight against climate change.
Many of the things we use every day, such as lights, refrigerators, game systems, and computers, use electricity… and a lot of that electricity is wasted. Cadettes explore their own use of electricity, find ways to save energy, and become leaders in their communities by sharing information about ways to save energy and fight climate change.
