The Battle of the Bulbs is a month-long electricity reduction competition. The dormitory that reduces its electricity usage by the highest percentage at the end of February WINS THE GREEN CUP and an organic food STUDY BREAK!
Individual participation is rewarded with entry into a RAFFLE--including people who don't live in Housing!

Tip of the Week
Most of the energy used by a washing machine comes from heating the water. Next time you do laundry, use warm or cold water instead of hot (clothes also last longer that way!). You can also hang clothes to dry rather than putting them in the dryer.
We will be tabling in the Reynolds Club throughout February on Tuesdays and Wednesdays between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. Come by to find out about ways to save energy, sign pledges (which earns you anautomatic raffle entry), or buy t-shirts for additional raffle tickets!
