Children taught to save energy

JAKARTA: To mark National Children's Day, state electricity company PLN launched on Sunday an energy saving module for school children.

Under the module, PLN will screen two animated films on energy conservation for the students.

PLN president director Eddie Widiono said the module was aimed at elementary students from third year to sixth year. For the trial, it will be introduced to students in Greater Jakarta.

"We hope to share knowledge about electricity with the children and help build a generation who is aware of energy conservation," Eddie said.

The firm will also promote the energy saving program among students through school visits. It will feature its mascot named Billi, a short form of Bijak Listrik (Wise electricity use). -- Antara
