Don’t forget to Switch It Off!

This month we are re-launching the Pass it On; Switch it Off campaign in time to coincide with the period when many members of staff take holidays. Last year our audits showed there was a potential £35,000 saving to be made if people consistently switched off equipment such as PCs and printers. One of the key messages this year is around phone chargers:

“Did you know that leaving your phone charger plugged in during a two week holiday, wastes enough energy to produce 14 ice cream cones?” 

Promotional tools have been sent out to Green Champions for distribution and messages will be appearing on plasmas and screensavers, but please support the campaign by switching off yourself and encouraging others to do the same. We need you to help us to achieve energy savings and carbon reduction to reduce our impact on the environment.

Visit the Switch it Off intranet page for more information and the campaign toolkit.
