GENERATION E

This generation cares about saving energy

Students today are more environmentally conscious than any generation before them. They know that collectively, their individual actions can make a big impact.

The next generation will transform the way we think about energy and sustainability. That’s why we launched a new initiative for teachers and students—Generation E. We’ll share classroom-friendly resources and hands-on activities, developed with teachers in mind, that they can use to help their students understand their energy use and empower youth to make energy-saving changes at home.

We’re working to build this initiative for Manitoba classrooms. Here’s what you can expect to access on the Generation E website: 

• Kindergarten to Grade 5: Learning sheets, games, and group activities to explain what energy is and why it’s important to use less of it. 
• Grade 6: Information and group activities to help introduce students to the concept of energy efficiency and identifying ways to save energy. 
• Grade 9: Information, group activities, and self-led assignments to help them better understand their energy use and how to create more energy-efficient spaces. 
• Teachers: Print- and digital-friendly resources, assignments, activity sheets, and lesson plans to bring energy efficiency to the classroom. 

Over time, we’ll expand the Generation E initiative to offer more educational resources for more age groups.
