This week the Sustainability Team and Student Switch Off have hit the Societies Fair in style in the form of the Eco-Power Ranger, Sustainability dog and Mr Potato Head!

We had a stand in the Sports Centre alongside all Newcastle University clubs and societies, with our neighbours the lovely GeogSoc and Computer Music Society, and introduced lots of fresh faces to the work that is done on campus to make our University greener.

Our stand was stacked full of freebies including reusable Student Switch Off bags, coupons for Ben & Jerries ice-cream, tasty sweets and some of our funky new badges.

 Over 2 days we spoke to hundreds of students about how they can get involved with the different campaigns and initiatives that are running on campus including Green Impact and Student Switch Off, as well as how they can find out more about the latest news and events. In total over 350 students signed up to support Student Switch Off, the inter-hall energy saving competition that sees the winning hall win a Ben & Jerries party at the end of the year.
