Easter break switch off

Switch off your non-essential equipment and lights this Easter break and help tackle the climate crisis and save money.

The simple step of switching off can add up to make a big difference in cost savings and environmental impact. It is our collective responsibility to take meaningful action in response to the climate emergency. Reducing energy consumption through switching off non-essential electricals and lights across campus is a shared opportunity across our community to make a real impact.
