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 2⁰ for the week, and their efforts resulted in an estimated 14% drop in electricity use over the week. J
