Join us on March 20 to support Earth Hour 2025
UBC Okanagan’s Sustainability Office invites you to participate in the campus-wide challenge of Earth Hour: One Hour, No Power. Let’s show how UBCO can conserve energy.
March 20 | 12 noon to 1 pm
All campus buildings
How to Participate
- Turn off lights in unoccupied spaces campus-wide during the one-hour challenge
- Contribute to energy conservation
- No registration is required
Small Actions, Big Impact
Did you know flipping a switch in spaces with occupancy sensors can save 30 minutes of unnecessary energy consumption? Remember to turn off lights when leaving:
- Offices
- Meeting Rooms
- Classrooms
- Labs
- Residences
Call for Volunteers
The Sustainability Office is seeking Earth Hour volunteers to help audit building areas, identifying where lights are left on and where they were turned off. As a volunteer, you will:
- Walk through select campus buildings from 12 noon to 1 pm
- Log all instances of where lights are left on or turned off in unoccupied spaces
- Turn lights off in unoccupied areas
Which building will show the greatest energy reduction during the one-hour challenge?
Check back in early April for the results.
Let’s make a positive impact together.
