Earth Hour Thursday March 17



 

 

 

On Thursday, March 17 (the perfect day for being green), we’re inviting the VIU Nanaimo campus to—

 

·   turn off unneeded lights, monitors, and other equipment during their lunch breaks
·   come outside and see us at the TD Plaza by the bus loop for prizes and popsicles
as a primer for Earth Hour (Saturday, March 19 8:30-9:30)

We need a little help from you!
We’ll be looking at B250 and B255 specifically to see if turning off anything that can be turned off during a break makes a difference in the amount of electricity used. Even if you choose not to stop by and visit on Thursday, we hope you’ll take a moment to switch off any device that can be switched off during your break.
And if you can share this information with your students/colleagues, that would be very much appreciated. More information can be found here: bit.ly/VIUEarthHour16
A similar electricity use target was done at B350 during Wacky Woolies Week. We asked that they turn down thermostats by 2for the week, and their efforts resulted in an estimated 14% drop in electricity use over the week. J
