Pleasanton Unified School District

Pleasanton Unified School DistrictThe Pleasanton Unified School District launched the Go Green initiative in 2002 at the Walnut Grove School and it spread quickly throughout the district. The district has taken energy efficiency seriously through both education and action. Along with becoming one of the first PG&E Solar Schools, the district has formed eClubs with eCoaches to help conserve energy. Each school in the district was base-lined for average energy consumption and for every month that they used fewer kWh they received eBates back to the school. Through this conservation program the school has saved 934,145 kWh, or 15% annually. This has cut the district's utility bill by $310,000 per year. In addition to energy, the Pleasanton School District has engaged the eClubs in activities such as gardening, composting, CFL swaps, solar cooking demos and global outreach programs.
