With the GP Energy Consumption - what can we do? students have to write a document to sensitize the educational community to reduce the energy consumption, both at school and home.

We look to that activity as a Collaboration with informal education since students out of school environment will be in touch with information that could be relevant to their learning process.

This is a great idea! Do you think to plan some hands-on activities during the presentation of the document?

Hands-on activities were done before...they come to a result after the data analise at the energy consumption by the school.
The idea is with that document, students can discuss and present their results to the authorities and parents.

During the presentation they also can learn something (e.g. what measures should be implemented? will municipality do something and how?). The same at their homes discussing the subject with their relatives.

I have a very good example of the effects of addressing municipalities. An association called Cel Fosc (Dark sky),
http://www.celfosc.org
they use to follow that procedure, by writing letters to the local giovernment responsibles and suggesting them to turn off lights or modify the lamp designs. In fact, it is called an association against luminic contamination.

Per cert, aquesta associació "Cel fosc" s'inicia a Catalunya i ha tingut difusió també al País Valencià. He trobat aquesta pàgina que en fa referència:

Great! I have located the letter to the municipality. I'll translate it and send it. I hoe it works as well as other people report in the web.
Certainly, light contamination is an issue that students have to understand and act upon.
