MakeMeSustainable Monday: "Lights Off" Stickers

Welcome to our regular Monday-morning blog feature, where we share easy tips and DIY projects that you can use this week to help make your life a bit more sustainable!

This week's project: "Lights Off" Stickers
This week is an easy project for everyone on campus. We need your help to conserve energy and reduce the University's operating budget. One of the easiest ways to do this is by turning off unnecessary light on campus. You can help in 2 easy ways:
  1. If you see a room that is not being used, make sure the lights are off. Common areas such as office kitchens, classrooms, and conference rooms are the most likely offenders.
  2. Request "Lights Off" stickers from your building's facility manager or the Sustainability Office (http://sustainability.unc.edu). You can put these stickers directly on the light switch to reminder others to help us conserve energy
