Friday Night Lights(+) 🍂💡🍂

The time change means it's dark earlier! But our time to shut off lights in still the same! We are on, rain or shine, hot or cold so just be prepared. ~60% of our electricity on campus comes from non-renewable sources (i.e fossil fuels), so saving energy is certainly helpful to reducing our carbon footprint. Friday Night Lights (+) is a great way to help us conserve energy and money, and each week a new bonus mission helps the Office of Campus Sustainability too!

Friday Night Lights(+) is a program aimed at helping BGSU save energy over the weekend when many academic buildings are not is use. Many of our buildings have been renovated with automatic lights, but there are still a handful that are the old-fashioned light switches that we want to make sure are turned off. This year, we are going to be adding a little twist to each FNL, hence the plus sign. FNL(+) this week will include a special mission for each team in your assigned building. More details for the additional task for each team will be explained prior to the start of the service event. Please meet outside the Theater on the 2nd Floor of the Bowen-Thompson Student Union no later than 6:30pm. Last year, volunteers helped BSGU save approximately $17,555 in energy bills! Electricity rates are even more costly this year, so this service is very important to our budget and climate goals!
