Students living in CWRU Res Halls and most Greek Houses can compete to reduce their energy usage over the course of two weeks, November 1-15.
Don’t worry, if you're an off-campus or commuter student, you can still participate.
All CWRU undergraduate students, both on and off campus, can sign the pledge for a chance to win raffle prizes.
Tips to Win:
- Monitor your building’s live energy consumption and take action.
- Get your friends and suitemates to reduce your building’s electricity use by turning off the lights, taking the stairs, unplugging devices, and washing clothes in cold water.
- Have a pledge signing party with your RA.
- Off campus students should consider switching to LED lights instead of incandescent bulbs and unplug or use smart powerstrips.
- Consider other home energy tips from the Office of Energy & Sustainability Website.
Prizes:
For the winning building, there will be a fun pizza party!
Points will be awarded for:
- reducing the amount of energy used in your residence hall
- Number of resigned that sign up for the Sustainability Pledge
- Individuals are automatically entered to win raffle prizes by signing the pledge. Prizes include gift cards and zero waste kits with tote bags, reusable silverware, beeswax wraps, and more!
