When the Seneca Park Zoo hosted the Our Fragile World Environmental Fair I was there educating the people of Rochester about the infamous excess electricity consumption. I created a touch-table demonstrating how CFL light bulbs ALWAYS use less electricity in comparison to an incandescent bulb. I had a dimmer switch hooked up to the incandescent bulb, which allowed kids and adults alike to adjust the flow of electricity to the bulb. People were surprised to see that the CLF bulb uses significantly less electricity, and when I told them the effects of using too much electricity the were flabbergasted. I got to move outside of my usual setting of classrooms and head outside and interact directly with the public. I feel like I really got my message to a large portion of those who attended the fair. Overall it was a rousing success!!

Till next time
