Some schools have created student energy patrols to monitor and inform others when energy is wasted.β
I suspect you may be misinterpreting the wording of this statement.
To monitor and inform, means notice that too many lights are on in a room and inform those in the room that it would be a good idea to use less lights and not to forget to turn the lights off when they leave the room.
You are reading Inform as run of and tell tales when it means educate or explain or make aware off etc
Personally I think it is a great idea to Inform children as soon as they are able to understand.
Informing them about healthy eating and exercise would be a good idea too.
