Community Service Projects: School of the Week

William Jewell College - Student volunteers had an interesting community service idea: save energy by installing fluorescent light bulbs in a Residence Inn/Marriott Hotel in Kansas City. They installed over 600 light bulbs in all 106 guest rooms, resulting in a 73% carbon emissions reduction and $1,200 of monthly savings, as well as environmental education for over 2,600 guests in the first month alone. They demonstrated to the guests how a community service opportunity could lead to cash and energy savings for many in their community.
