How Low Can You Go Challenge

Empowering Youth to Reduce Energy and Water Consumption

There’s a direct connection between your energy/water use and the environment. When you consume less power and water, you reduce the amount of toxic fumes released by power plants, conserve the earth’s natural resources and protect ecosystems from destruction. By taking steps to reduce your energy and water usage, you’ll contribute to a healthier and happier world     

How Low Can You Go Challenge Miami Heat Ceremony

Everyone loves a challenge, a little friendly competition. For our K-12 students, we have partnered with The Miami Heat in the “How Low Can You Go Challenge?” The How Low Challenge is to see which school can reduce their percentage of energy and water consumption the most over a three month period of time.

Measurements of success over past six years:

​

• Over 300 schools registered

• Impact over 250,000+ people

• Reduced over 8,630,683 kWh

• Energy cost savings over $776,770

• Reduced CO2 emissions by 13,455,244 lbs.

• Reduced water by over 19,500,00 gallons

• Water cost savings of over $95,000

The White House, NOAA and National Geographic have recognized this program as an innovative community project to raise awareness of the effects of CO2 emissions on the environment and change behaviors.

Let’s engage in some friendly competition while reducing our carbon footprint.
