The Student Switch Off campaign is currently underway at Exeter University – your chance to win prizes like an NUS extra card or Ben & Jerry’s ice cream, just by doing simple things to reduce energy usage and protect the environment.

There are competitions running every two weeks, such as the Climate Change Quiz as well as numerous Facebook photo competitions. These are quick and easy to enter and help to raise awareness about simple energy saving techniques. As well as various individual prizes given out throughout the year, the halls that save the most energy at the end of the year enjoy a big party. Last year, Lafrowda Blocks C&D won the Student Switch Off competition and were awarded with a massive delivery of Ben & Jerry’s ice cream.
