NJNG is proud to announce our Conserve to Preserve® “Kids and Conservation” Poster Contest winners. Participating students were asked to create a poster illustrating one or more of the conservation tips in NJNG’s energy-saving tip card. Over 300 entries were received from schools throughout our service territory. The posters were judged on creativity, content accuracy and overall presentation.

One winner was chosen from each county of Monmouth, Morris and Ocean. The three winners were introduced at the Annual Shareholders Meeting for New Jersey Resources, parent company of NJNG, held at Georgian Court University in Lakewood. The students were each awarded a laptop computer and their school received a $1,000 contribution towards an energy conservation, tree planting or environmental beautification project. All participating students received a certificate of recognition for their involvement.

At NJNG, we believe that educating students about energy conservation enables them to make a difference in their own lives today, and in the lives of future generations around the world tomorrow. For more ideas on how to engage children in these efforts, we encourage you to learn about the Energy Hog, a nationwide energy efficiency campaign for both children and parents. NJNG can also provide you with the new ENERGY STAR Activity Book, featuring the cast of the Horton Hears a Who movie.
