Turning off the lights in rooms before you leave can have a significant impact on the amount of wasted energy in your apartment or house. We often do not realize how many lights we leave on every day when we may not even be in the room!
It is estimated that you can reduce your CO2 output by up to 110lbs over the course of just one week by participating in this one simple action. You can also save approximately $5 each week you do this. These values can obviously vary depending on the type of lightbulbs you use and how many you have throughout your home. However, this small effort can translate into significant energy savings and environmental benefit if more people take part in this sustainability action.
Challenge:
We challenge you to turn off your lights whenever a room is not being used for the next 2 weeks and see how easy it can be to incorporate into your routine!
Tips:
-Allow more natural light into your house by opening blinds or curtains. It is much less harsh than many artificial lights and it's free!
