AC and Lights Problem

Mama Fuj brought it to our attention that the school wastes a lot of energy by merely leaving the ACs and lights on when there is no one in the classroom. The teachers are not malicious with this; they probably just forget that the lights and AC are still on when they leave. Because this isn't their home, they might not care about the bill as much as they would in their own homes. As a group we are hoping to be able to remind teachers to turn these things off at the end of the day, maybe by putting up posters or even PA announcements at the end of the day. In order to measure the success of this, we will try to get the electricity bill or estimate of a regular month and maybe compare it to after our project... This is kind of like the electricity project we did earlier in the year, but on a larger scale.
