Topic: Education
 Do you want a fun, safe place to spend time with your kids but you don't have the energy (literally and figuratively) to travel? Well you're in luck. We discovered http://www.energyhog.org which is a great online site for kids to learn about the possible energy hogs in your home. The Hogbuster games make it fun to battle the pesky hogs. They have names like, Mork Pork, Ivanna Hamm, Kelvin Bacon and Penelope Pigg. Each hog has 'vital statistics' and can be 3D rotated for a closer inspection.
As the games progress, your kids can navigate the floorplan of a home and find the different types of hogs that exist. The bathroom, kitchen, bedroom, attic and living room are all covered. Game names are Fridge Frenzy, Bulb Hunter, Whack A Hog, Wacky Windows and Attic Attack. When you complete the games, you are presented with an Official Energy Hog Buster Certificate which you can print out.
So sit with your young one at the computer and learn about energy the fun way. Like the saying goes, "From the mouse of babes...."
The Energy Hog campaign was founded by Energy Outreach Colorado and the Colorado Governor's Office of Energy Management and Conservation OEMC) and was made possible by the generous support of many partners.
