Watt Watchers is a free energy efficiency program for Texas schools. To run the program, students (K-12) patrol their halls turning off lights to save energy; students will leave tickets in classrooms where the lights were left on while unoccupied. Watt Watchers will help schools save $50 per classroom per year.
