In addition, PerkinElmer is donating 100% of the proceeds from this event to "4-H," a charitable organization focused on providing learning opportunities for youth in a variety of areas, including science. 4-H's programs provide young people with first-hand experience in utilizing alternative energy, conserving energy and learning how to limit humanity's impact on our environment. Completing programs such as 4-H2Online, which teaches water conservation, and The Power of the Wind, which teaches youth how to take advantage of wind energy, allows young people an entry point into these important conversations. With this knowledge, 4-H'ers can interact with their community's decision-makers and help foment environmentally conscious policy.
