 Westminster College Energy Challenge 2010.

Save some energy. Save our snow.

Thanks to everyone who participated in this year's challenge and saved a cumulative amount of over 20,000 kwh of electricity!

Check back to participate in next year's challenge!

Join a friendly competition between Res Halls to see who can save the most electricity between March 22nd and April 19th. Everyone who participates is entered to win raffle prizes. The hall who saves the most electricity (compared to that hall's average use) will receive a sweet HWAC pool party for everyone in the hall who participates. Winning hall(s) and raffle winners will be announced on Earth Day, April 21st, at noon on the plaza. 

To sign up or learn more about the challenge, contact your hall's Eco-Rep.
