Becoming an energyconscious<br />
consumerRole play game<br />
32<br />
Concept designer: Energies Environnement 74 – Espace<br />
Info Energie de Haute-Savoie<br />
Educational goal: Learn to make consumption choices in<br />
favour of sustainable development<br />
Target audience: 12-15 year olds. Group of 20 people.<br />
How to play: The game works well with a small group of 5<br />
to 6 people. The scene is a supermarket aisle.<br />
An activity leader hands a mission card to each of two<br />
players. One is a customer and the other the shopkeeper.<br />
Each mission card bears an instruction. The mission cards<br />
deal with: energy stickers, water saving appliances, lighting<br />
and petrol heaters.<br />
The rest of the group observes the exchanges between the<br />
buyer and the shopkeeper. When the actors have finished<br />
their exchange the game stops and the players, activity leader<br />
and audience engage in a discussion, with the activity<br />
leader taking the opportunity to explain why it is important<br />
to better consume to preserve the planet.<br />
Duration: 10 minutes for each “role play” followed by 10<br />
minutes of discussion (or more where necessary).<br />
Implementation site: Indoors or outside, depending on the<br />
situation.<br />
Equipment required: Supermarket décor: either the activity<br />
leader could wear the uniform of a supermarket worker,<br />
or perhaps the décor could feature stacks of packages for<br />
household appliances, etc.<br />
Petrol heaters, energy-saving light bulbs, enlarged energysaving<br />
stickers, water-saving shower heads, etc.<br />
Activity leader: An activity leader or teacher is required.<br />
Preparation: Just the time required to inform the activity<br />
leader of his or her mission.<br />
Opinion: The game has been designed to appeal on young<br />
teenagers and encourage them to apply their critical faculties<br />
to modes of consumption and their impact on the planet.<br />
Water<br />
Shopkeeper’s mission card<br />
You have to sell water-saving appliances …<br />
Sales considerations<br />
Firstly, advise the buyer and raise his or her awareness:<br />
Remember to check watertight seals to ensure they are<br />
in order; take showers rather than baths! Do not leave the<br />
water running while brushing your teeth,, etc.<br />
Then try to make the sale:<br />
- The double-flow flushing system (small and big flow)<br />
- filter on tap head (divide water consumption by 2)<br />
- Shower stop (stops water flow – and keeps the water<br />
hot – while you are applying soap)<br />
Customer mission card<br />
You have just received a high water bill and want to get<br />
advice on how to save water …<br />
The energy stickers and how to<br />
choose a household electrical appliance:<br />
Shopkeeper’s mission card<br />
You have to sell a class A washing machine…<br />
Sales considerations<br />
Look at the energy sticker:<br />
- This shows how much electricity the appliance<br />
consumes: (Green – low consumption red – high<br />
consumption)<br />
- This shows how much water the appliance consumes<br />
- Their purchase price is higher, but these appliances cut<br />
electricity bills<br />
- Class A uses three times less electricity than class F<br />
Customer mission card<br />
You want to buy an inexpensive washing machine<br />
Lighting<br />
Shopkeeper’s mission card<br />
You have to sell an energy-saving light bulb…<br />
Sales considerations<br />
- Its uses 5 times less energy than an ordinary bulb<br />
- It lasts 8 times longer<br />
- It does not heat up<br />
- They should only be fitted in rooms that are lit for a<br />
long time<br />
- They are quite costly (50 F)<br />
Customer mission card<br />
You want to buy an ordinary light bulb …<br />
Kerosene heaters (Petrol heaters)<br />
Shopkeeper’s mission card<br />
You have to convince the buyer that using a kerosene heater<br />
is not a good way to heat…<br />
Sales considerations<br />
- It is just as expensive as electrical heating<br />
- It can only be used to heat up one room for a few<br />
hours<br />
- It’s not good for your health (because it emits carbon<br />
dioxide)<br />
- It damages the room (because it emits humidity)<br />
- It would be better to buy an electric oil-filled radiator<br />
on wheels<br />
Customer mission card<br />
You live in an old home with old electrical radiators that do<br />
not give out much heat.<br />
You want to buy a kerosene heater to replace these radiators<br />
because you think that would be more economic and<br />
more comfortable …
