Longhorn Lights Out

Fun! Awesome!

It is interesting how turning off lights can have such an impact. During my service, I was part of a small group that was assigned to turn off lights in Painter. I learned about the organization and history of the Longhorn Lights Out program and how many electronics are left on. On that note, I have never really thought about how many electronics are left on and their environmental impact, up until my service. It was a great way to learn how to conserve by doing something as simple as flicking a switch and how to create an organization by joining the dark side.

Our group had to turn off the lights that were not used in the Welch building. I counted the number of light bulbs that we turned off in order to know how much energy and money is saved.

Had fun turning of lights, meeting new people, and playing the trivia game!

Managed check in table, collected data, and compiled energy saving data results.
