Bede has won the Student Switch Off competition 2011-12!

 

 Students living in Bede hall of residence at DMU have won the 2011-12 Student Switch Off energy-saving competition. Over this academic year energy usage in the hall reduced by 8.42% compared to the average usage over the last few years. Bede residents will be celebrating in style at a Student Switch Off Ben & Jerry’s ice cream party in the summer term!

 Together, DMU residents have reduced carbon emissions by 6.8 tonnes which is equivalent to making 393,863 cups of tea! It just goes to show that small actions can make a real difference in the fight against climate change.

 There are over 120 Eco-Power Rangers across all the Solent halls of residence who have been switching off lights and appliances when not in use, putting lids on pans when cooking and not overfilling their kettles.

Thanks to everyone who took part and we hope that your energy-saving actions continue!
