Even small steps can make a big difference:
- Switching off the lights when everyone has left the room.
- Keeping windows closed, particularly when the heating or air conditioning is on.
- Taking the stairs rather than the lift if it’s just for one or two floors.
- Switching off projectors, monitors and other equipment when they’re no longer needed (e.g. at the end of a class).
- When leaving a seminar or study room, take a moment to check: are the lights still on? Is a window open?
Many of you are already doing their part – thank you! If we all pitch in, we can save energy, cut costs and make a real difference for sustainability.
