Teachers urged to support energy conservation

BP is encouraging teachers to make conservation a priority in the classroom--and there's free money involved!

Building on last year's first-ever and highly successful A+ for Energy grant program, BP has launched the 2005 A+ for Energy program. The 2005 A+ for Energy grant program awards $2 million in grants and scholarships to California K-12 teachers to implement creative and innovative educational programs to teach students about energy and energy conservation.

Any K-12 teacher currently teaching in a California public or private school is eligible to submit an application. The submission deadline is April 4, 2005. Winners will be announced by June 7, 2005. Applications are available via the Internet at www.aplusforenergy.org or by calling 1-714-228-6760.
