Join the Fight Against Global Warming:
In Your Community
In addition to making a difference in the fight against global warming at home and at work, you can make a difference in your community. EPA is proud to partner with Boys & Girls Clubs of America and PTO Today to reach America's youth and encourage them to get out and "Change the World, Start with ENERGY STAR." Learn about projects that have grown out of these partnerships as well as ways you can join the movement and become involved in your own community.
BOYS & GIRLS CLUBS OF AMERICA
As part of the Change the World, Start with ENERGY STAR campaign, EPA has partnered with Boys & Girls Clubs of America to support Clubs across the country that are participating in community service projects related to energy efficiency. Sixty Clubs from across the U.S. will participate in ENERGY STAR projects by Earth Day 2010, with projects ranging from home energy check-ups to holding community energy fairs. Below are Clubs currently conducting ENERGY STAR community service projects (all links exit energystar.gov

PTO TODAY
PTO Today focuses exclusively on providing school parent groups with the tools, resources and expert insight they need to welcome, engage and serve all families at schools throughout the U.S. Through EPA's nationwide partnership with PTO Today, local Parent Teacher Organizations (PTOs and PTAs) at K–8 schools across the country will host Go Green Nights — school-based events that teach kids and their families about energy efficiency in fun and engaging ways. Thousands of schools in all 50 states have already signed up to host a night.
All school leaders are encouraged to order a free Go Green Night kit — including soup-to-nuts planning guidelines and a list of equipment and supplies needed to run educational activities that focus on protecting our environment.
Learn how your school can order a kit today!
LOCAL EVENTS
EPA's Change the World, Start with ENERGY STAR campaign encourages Americans to join in the fight against global warming. To help spread the word, EPA works with organizations to host events featuring a custom-built interactive exhibit modeled after an energy-efficient home showing examples of the many ways you can save energy, money, and help protect the environment. See where this year's events were held.
