Halls’ carbon footprint benefits from students’ competitive spirit

A competition between Loughborough University’s halls of residence has enabled them to drastically reduce their carbon footprint and raise money for charity at the same time.

The Energy League pits halls of residence against each other in a bid to see which hall can reduce their energy consumption and their carbon footprint by the most. This year the hall students reduced their carbon footprint by 110 tonnes of CO2, which equates to a financial saving of £15,000.
