There was a great stir in the Oak Grove area as a group of middle school students from Arbor Montessori School moved about the local businesses asking if they wanted to participate in the Glow Challenge.
The Glow Challenge is a competition between companies in the Oak Grove area to see who can reduce their electricity bill from mid-January to mid-February by the highest percentage. The winner will receive a certificate of recognition for being the greenest company in the Oak Grove
area. So far, the students have convinced The Beehive Hair Company, Hair Flair and Limetree to participate.
The students were inspired to act against global warming after a school field trip to a local coal-fired power plant where they saw the amount of toxins released into the air. They hope that their actions could be an inspiration to other children who want to make a difference.
This attempt to reduce the amount of energy used in the Oak Grove area is appealing to many companies not only because its beneficial to the environment, but because the companies save money on their energy bills and the winner gets the acknowledgment of being the greenest company in Oak Grove, thereby increasing customer attention. The award ceremony will be held on March 11th at 7:00pm at Arbor Montessori School, and will be open to the public and the press.
