Switch Off for Christmas
Switch Off for Christmas
It’s that time of year again, we all head on home to bring on the festivities!!! But before you all embark on your journeys I just wanted to remind you to:
* Switch off all your lights (if your off campus, might be a good idea to leave a light to make burglars think there is possibly someone around)
* Turn the heating off (or onto thermostat with a low temperature if your worried about bursting pipes) * Shut all your windows (and lock them if you can)
* Hide all your expensive items from view (may even be good idea to close your curtains)
* Turn off all electrical items, including chargers, printers and anything you don’t need on
* Take out your rubbish, so you don’t come back to a stinking place afterward (might be worth doing that bit / mountain of washing up as well) And just a quick fact: “In 2012 the campus used enough electricity to power 4,778 homes during the Christmas period”.
