In fact, with everything that’s available to entertain and educate kids, they’re using a lot more energy than we did as children. That’s why Con Edison launched www.conEd.com/kids, a delightful, interactive world of energy to engage children while teaching them about electricity and how to use energy wisely every day. Your kids will have lots of fun and be energy-smart in no time. And that’s good for you too, because when kids learn to turn off the lights, you’ll save money on your energy bill.
