“Fun, exciting and rewarding”

Living in halls of residence can be the first taste of independent living for many students. This makes it the ideal time to help them get into pro-environmental habits which stick for life.

“Student Switch Off manages to make energy-saving fun, exciting, and rewarding”, agrees Amelia Schofield, Green Officer at St Catharine’s College, Cambridge.

“The competitions encouraged people to improve their environmental behaviours – often without even realising! I am very grateful for the campaign as it helped to engage many more people in college than would otherwise have been possible as Green Officer.”
