Student Switch Off Halls Sustainability Campaign
Reduce your impact on the climate crisis by taking personal action in halls this year through University of Winchester halls of residence Student Switch Off campaign.
Residents of Winchester halls will compete to save the most energy! The winning flat in Burma Road, Queens Road and West Downs will be crowned the Student Switch Off champions and rewarded with £50 per student and an end of year Ben & Jerry’s giveaway.
How to take personal action in halls as well as win prizes this year: 1) Save energy by switching off lights and electrical appliances such as laptops when not in use. In the kitchen only fill the kettle with the water you need (the more you boil, the more energy you use) and put a lid on your pan to cook your food quicker. 2)Save water by not leaving the tap running unnecessarily and reducing your shower time. Taking action on the climate crisis in halls has a huge impact. Last year the Student Switch Off campaign reached 82,600 students who saved 860,00kWh of electricity, which is the equivalent of powering a lightbulb for over 6,500 years!
