Communal incentives:

The winning hall will receive an end of year party so all residents can celebrate their energy-saving actions in style!

Last year the parties featured steel bands, sumo wrestling, caricaturists, magicians and a BBQ.

Individual incentives:

- Those living in halls who sign up to become an Eco-Power Ranger at the Freshers' Fair will receive a Student Switch Off cotton bag (to help to reduce plastic bag usage) together with some Ben & Jerry's merchandise - including a freezer bag so you can keep your ice cream/wine cool when you're off to a picnic (or given the weather recently, off to a house party!).

- Every week we will be giving away 10 tickets to Oceana to students who post energy-saving pictures on the "University of Sussex Eco-Power Rangers" Facebook group.

- In November 2009 and February 2010 we will be running a competition to win solar-powered mobile phone chargers and water-powered alarm clocks. More details of this competition will be made available nearer the time but to maximise your chances of winning, sign up to become an Eco-Power Ranger. 

- In November 2009 an Eco-Power Ranger at Sussex will win a year's supply of Ben & Jerry's ice cream* - Yum yum! Details to follow

- Every month from Sept 2009 to June 2010 a student in halls at one of the participating Unis will win a year's supply of Ben & Jerry's ice cream* as part of the picture-of-the month competition. Click here for details of how to enter the competition.

* A year's supply of Ben & Jerry's equates to 6 vouchers for 500ml tubs of Ben & Jerry's working on the assumption that the average person who eats Ben & Jerry's has 2 tubs a year and then adding a few on for good measure!
