Talking Trash: Throwing Out the Big Apple

Urban Investigations

Power Trip - Booklet and Poster

Where does our electricity come from? How does it get to us? Where do individuals fit into this large and complex system? To answer these questions, a group of NYC public high school students interviewed energy experts and peered down manholes. They created a bilingual poster and accompanying booklet to share what they learned on the Power Trip.

Check out the large-scale poster to learn about the long route our electricity takes from its sources to the outlet. The poster comes folded in an envelope along with a booklet that further breaks down the key players and steps along the way, helping consumers understand their place in the complex system. If you’d like to hang the poster on the wall, you can purchase the unfolded display edition of the poster here.
