100 day energy campaign

If we all carry out the actions noted below, we will not only help tackle climate change by reducing our carbon dioxide emissions by up to 1,500 tonnes but also save money to the tune of £250,000 a year.

Remember most of these tips work just as well at home as they do at work, so you can save yourself some money as well.

1. Switch lights off in empty rooms
2. Working in a large lab or office, only switch on the lights you need
3. Make the most of natural daylight especially with spring and summer coming, switch off the lights
4. Switch off computers and equipment when you’re not using them
5. Don’t leave mobile phone charges plugged in when they are not charging
6. Heating on too high – report it to Sustainability
7. Print less and print double sided
8. Only boil the amount of water you need in a kettle, don’t over fill it
9. Don’t leave taps running, report leaking taps to Maintenance Services, ext. 89898
