Project Citizen survey of compact fluorescent light bulbs

Project Citizen is a national organization run by middle-school teens in individual schools. Each class picks a topic that they believe is a good cause. In Community Middle School, the manager of Project Citizen is Ms. Chubik, the 7B Social Studies teacher. This year’s topic is compact fluorescent light bulbs. Our aim is to introduce a bill in the Senate and Assembly of New Jersey State that requires the installation of compact fluorescent light bulbs in all schools. The purpose of this survey is to understand the prior knowledge of the student body on the topic of compact fluorescent light bulbs.
