• Notebooks and pens or pencils

• Find out from an energy company in your community how to conduct an energy survey in your congregation. Or, schedule a time for an energy company auditor to come lead the group in conducting an energy survey.
• Engage additional adult volunteers to help conduct the energy survey with the children.

Have participants walk around the congregation and find out how much energy is used by lights, computers, and other appliances - including toys. Make note of all the items that use energy sources such as electricity, oil, or batteries. Explain that all energy comes from the Earth and we do not want to use it all up. Help the children talk about what it means to save energy and why saving energy is an important part of protecting our Earth.

Make sure any walking tour of the congregation or other building is accessible to children with mobility, sight or other limitations.
