Schools across Loughborough and the rest of Charnwood are gearing up to get involved in an energy saving campaign taking place next week.

A number of schools across the borough are monitoring their energy use and recording how much they have saved during the Big Switch Off (BSO) which runs from October 12-18.

Youngsters will make an extra effort to take measures to cut their energy use such as switching off standby buttons on TVs and computers, turning off chargers that are not being used and switching off lamps in rooms which are unoccupied.

The Mayor of Charnwood Cllr Roy Brown (Conservative councillor for Sileby) has recorded a vodcast (video broadcast), which was filmed by pupils from Rawlins Community College in Quorn. It will be posted on the council
