Activities proposed under this project include, replacing the outdoor lighting on the Bahamas Academy campus with solar lights and retrofitting light fixtures throughout the school with LED bulbs. This project will not only result in a significant reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions but will also bring financial savings for the school due to the high cost of fossil fuel-based energy generation in The Bahamas. The school?s electricity bill is approximately $9,000 per month.

Additionally, the project seeks to increase awareness of the need for energy efficiency by dedicating a page of the school?s website to the project. Our website has extensive traffic on a monthly basis, reaching far beyond our physical campus. In addition, the project will be promoted via ATV53 (Adventist Television) and 88.3 FM. Under this project, Bahamas Academy will also seek to join the Eco-Schools Bahamas programme, helping to further reduce the schools environmental impact.
