SSC Youth Internship Pilot

SSC recently founded a new internship pilot for teenagers to learn and help solve environmental problems! For the past couple of weeks, teenagers from Sharon High School have been working on projects to help accomplish their goals! Here are some of the things that they did over the past couple of weeks:

Electric cars:

  • They are much better from the environment since they don't release bad gasses into the earth's atmosphere

  • Don't have to worry about getting gas since you can charge overnight

  • Many different varieties

  • Very fun to drive

  • You can get discounts on electric vehicles on drive green @ https://www.greenenergyconsumers.org/drivegreen

Solar:

  • You can get some tax credit for going solar

  • Going solar is good for the environment since it doesn't produce as many negative externalities such as greenhouse gasses.

  •  Save money on electric bills going solar

  • If getting solar is not possible for your home, you can still apply to get energy from solar farms, which is still clean energy going straight to your home.

 In the next couple of weeks, the team is looking to promote the use of electric cars and solar energy in Sharon. There is much more to come!
