Canon Burrows primary school unveils powerPerfector |
|
Voltage power optimisation unit will reduce the amount of electricity the school uses.
A powerPerfector voltage power optimisation unit awarded to Canon Burrows primary school in Greater Manchester has been unveiled by HRH The Duchess of Cornwall.
It was awarded to the school for winning the 'Wipe out Waste' competition organised by Footprint Friends and sponsored by powerPerfector.
The powerPerfector ‘green box’ will help Canon Burrows to become a more environmentally friendly school by reducing the amount of electricity it uses.
The competition saw children present a ‘green’ idea of how schools can look after the environment by reducing waste. The winning concept was a unique pencil grip which extends the life of pencils normally thrown away when they have been half used.
On hearing the idea, powerPerfector committed to financing the design of a prototype that was shown to the school during the visit.
The school actively seeks ways to reduce carbon emissions and have recently installed a green roof and solar panels. Further information:
