DDear Energy Conservationist,
To begin with, let me take this opportunity to congratulate you
on the prestigious international acclaim that we have received
this year. As you know, Tata Power Energy Club(TPEC) has
been awarded ‘The Most Innovative Campaign’ by The Energy
Daily Leadership Awards, USA. Every little effort made by you,
for this cause of energy conservation is being recognized and
is definitely going to inspire many more like minded people
across the world.
Abiding by our Company’s sustainability agenda, we have
been successfully spearheading this initiative which has come
a long way since its inception in 2007 with only 12 schools.
Today, we are expanding both in terms of reach and content of
the programme. Covering nine cities in about 400 schools and
executing newer and interactive programmes like Energy Q,
National Energy Savvy Competition (NESS) and Mini TPECs
etc., it has undoubtedly been a commendable achievement.
As we are nearing the end of this academic year we have
geared up to achieve a saving of two million units this year.
Schools are proactively conducting mass sensitization
sessions like rallies, street plays etc., to reach out and spread
the cause to more and more people. With programmes like
Mini Tata Power Energy Club and NESS the Club has been
engaged in year round activities. With you spearheading your
own Mini TPECs in schools, it has been a revelation to see the
potential you have achieved with some great innovative ideas.
I wish you the very best of success for your future activities and
the most awaited NESS results! Till then, keep saving energy
and Jiyo Power Se!
Warm Regards,
Anil Sardana
Managing Director

Now street lamps can be powered by Dog Poop! Matthew Mazzotta's The Park Spark Project is the most unusual move towards generating renewable
energy which converts dog poop into methane that powers street lamps.
The Park Spark project installs a methane digester in public parks to collect dog waste and transforms it into methane. Here the Methane produced by
the Digester is burned in the form of a lamppost for light.
This methane digester called 'Park Spark' has been installed in a dog park in Cambridge, Massachusetts. People walking their dogs are encouraged to
collect the feces, place them into the supplied biodegradable doggie bags and drop them into the
digester feeding tube. They then turn a hand crank to stir the mixture of excrement and anaerobic bacteria
in the Spark Park digester and help the methane rise to the top where it is burned constantly in the lamp,
like an 'eternal flame'.
The team hopes there will be enough methane generated to power other objects in the park and
surrounding community, such as tea carts, or popcorn stands, but the main aim is to demonstrate to the
community that waste is a precious resource. As long as people are walking dogs and throwing away dog
poop, a flame can burn.
The eternal flame of the lamp is intended as a reminder of the 'redundant and unquestioned' nature of our
behavior, and will burn until someone comes up with a better idea for using the energy available.

'This New Year, let's pledge to Conserve Energy!'
Unlike most of us, this is the New Year resolution made by a group of young energy savvy
enthusiasts- the Maryites. On the eve of New Year when we were busy making plans for our
future, these spirited minds where charting action plans on how to save and make others save
energy in 2011. These Maryites are undoubtedly paving their way to become the Energy Savviest
of them all.
Since the launch of Energy Savvy School Competition last year, these Maryites have geared up to
consciously make an effort towards energy conservation. All the students collectively participate
in various energy saving activities that are plotted month-wise for students to contribute and
engage with.
th
The school christened their own Energy Club as 'Maryites Unplugged' on 12 August, 2011 which
also marked the International Youth Day. The elected leaders of the Club along with the members
have formed an Environmental Policy and Eco-Pledge for the school. This Eco-Pledge is taken
by the students on every Friday at the school assembly.
They launched the 'Red Label Campaign' wherein five elected Energy Savvy Inspectors take
rounds during school recess and after school hours to monitor energy wastage in classrooms.
If lights or fans are found switched on when not in use, they label it red. By the end of every
week, the classroom with the highest number of Red Labels does not get electric supply on the
impending Monday.
The Club has a special notice board named 'Jiyo Power Se' zone which keep the students
updated with the latest activities of the Club. The Club conducts regular sensitization sessions
for the school and neighboring societies to educate and create awareness among various
households. Regular Batti Bandh sessions conducted on Wednesdays have also resulted in
colossal amount of savings. Exciting Quiz Competitions, Model making competitions, posters
and campaigns on Facebook has involved students at a higher level with more learning about
energy saving.
The Maryites have unplugged and continue to spearhead this cause of energy conservation!
