Student Switch Off is a sustainability campaign running at the University of Liverpool which supports and encourages students living in the university halls to save energy and water, as well as recycle.

If you live in the following halls you are automatically taking part in the campaign: Crown Place, Dover Court, Greenbank, Melville Grove, Philharmonic, Tudor Close and Vine Court. Visit our get involved page to find out how you can do more and win individual prizes like Ben & Jerry’s and TOTUM student discount cards.

At the end of the year, the hall that saves the most energy & recycles the best will win a prize for the whole hall!

Why does Student Switch Off exist?

Student Switch Off provides a platform for students to take personal action on the Climate Crisis.

• Residence blocks are energy & water intensive buildings
• Inefficient electricity, heat and water use all contribute to the Climate Crisis, with the majority of Europe’s energy coming from fossil fuels
• When bills are included in rent, we may not be as enticed to save
• Reducing energy & water waste is a great way to reduce negative environmental and social impact
• Reducing waste and recycling where possible also saves energy, resources and cuts CO₂ emissions
• Whilst these actions aren’t going to solve the whole problem, it’s a great place for individuals to start as it’s simple and seemingly small actions really can add up

What impact does the campaign have?

The campaign runs in universities across Europe and in the past 12 years we have…

Each and every small action contributes to our collective impact, so thanks for being part of Student Switch Off!
