Kids Can Save Energy Too!

There are many ways that kids can save energy and help our planet. Read the suggestions below and try to incorporate as many as possible into your daily routine.

LIGHTS OUT

If you turned a light on remember to turn it OFF when you leave the room.

SUNSHINE ALL THE TIME

During the day, open blinds to let natural light in and turn o all of the lights.

TURN IT OFF

Shut o your television, video game console, computer station, and other electronics when you’re finished using them. Unplug devices when you are not using them to avoid “vampire” power leech.

HAVE A NO ELECTRONICS DAY

Skip the television and video games and get outside and play! Or stay inside and read a book, play a board game, or do a craft.

KEEP IT CLOSED!

Do you have the munchies? Make sure your know what you’ll eat before opening the fridge door. If you keep the door open as you search for a snack you will be wasting energy.

JUST THE RIGHT TEMPERATURE

If you are warm, fans use far less electricity than turning on the AC - just remember to turn them o when you leave the room. If you are cold, try putting on a sweater first or cuddling up with a blanket instead of turning on the heater. If you do turn on the AC or heater, keep windows closed when they are on.

RECYCLE

Recycle as much as you can. It might not seem like saving energy, but it takes a lot less energy to reuse than to make new materials.

BRING YOUR OWN

Remind your parents to bring your own bags to the store.

TIME MATTERS

Encourage your parents to use household appliances like dishwashers, washing machines, and dryers in the morning or late in the evening when electricity demand is less. Also you can hang your clothes to dry instead of using the dryer.

TRANSPORTATION

Walk or ride your bicycle or scooter to school, soccer practice, dance class, or your grandparents house. This will conserve gas and limit pollutants from entering the atmosphere. Plus riding a bike or scooter is fun!

2502 Henderson Road, Redding, CA

Come check out this beautiful riverfront property with over a mile and a half of trails, footbridges, picturesque views, a kayak launch, a restroom, fish channel, and more. There is plenty to explore at Nur Pon Open Space. While the area will be closed to bikes and scooters, it is a fenced, off-leash dog area! Be sure to bring your family — and fur babies — along for a day of exploration and fun in one of the most beautiful natural spaces in the heart of Redding.

The location will host a wide range of activities in the fall to engage a diverse range of community members in connecting with the area. Nur Pon Open Space is slated for daily walks, special events, public art installations, nature walks, and the opportunity for local artists, photographers, historians, and more to visit and thereby be inspired by the space.

“We are very excited to see Nur Pon Open Space reopen and meet its full potential as a space to experience nature, fishing, art, and a sense of community,” says Kim Niemer, Director of Community Services at the City of Redding.

Waiver:

In consideration for being allowed to participate in City of Redding recreational programs, I accept the terms and conditions required for participation, and agree to indemnify and hold harmless the City of

Redding, its employees, agents, volunteers, officials and officers (collectively the City) from and against any injury, damage, claims, actions or suits arising out of my participation, or that of the child listed below, including those caused by negligence of the City and/or any dangerous condition of property of the City and further agree to defend and indemnify the City from and against any injury, damage, claims, actions or suits arising out of or connected with my participation or that of the child listed below (further agree to take responsibility to insure all registered minor children) and assume all risks for any injuries received.

I further represent and warrant that I am advised of the existence of California Civil Code § 1542, which provides as follows: A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor.

Notwithstanding this provision, this will constitute a full release in accordance with its terms. I knowingly and voluntarily waive the provisions of Section 1542, as well as any other statute, law or rule of similar effect, and acknowledge and agree that this waiver is an essential and material term of my participation or that of the child listed below.

Severability:

If any term clause or provision of this Waiver, Release of Liability and Disclaimer is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Release of Liability shall not be affected thereby, and shall be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law. I have read and understand the above agreement and fully assume all risks for any injuries. It is understood that the City of Redding does not provide health or accident insurance for participants. Consent is given for the leader in charge to perform first–aid or take any other emergency action he/she deems necessary in his/her best judgment.
