Lights Out Lunch

Make an even larger impact

A great practice is to turn off lights in areas of the school where there is enough natural sunlight during lunchtime.

Tips:

• Hold a regular Lights Out Lunch – once a month, weekly, or even every day. Track which classrooms take part and celebrate the classes that participate the most at the end of the week.
• Ask teachers to use half-bank lighting on bright, sunny days to conserve even more energy.
• At the secondary level, consider hosting a lunchtime event where cafeteria lights are dimmed or turned off when possible. It could be a romantic theme or a spooky theme – whatever works to get students engaged.
