I feel happy to have participated

The Student Switch Off program has been a life experience for me since in the last two years that it has run in our dorms it has managed to completely change the way in which I dealt with /thought about the simple and everyday things.
Through the program I believe that I have become a better person not only as far as saving energy for the environment but also saving energy in my everyday life which has changed significantly due to Student Switch Off.
The dormitory has been my home for the past few years and I take care of it like I have learned through Student Switch Off to take care of the environment.
In parallel to the energy saving actions I applied in the dorms I applied many of the little secrets of energy saving in my parental home and I also explained to my nephews that had bad energy saving habits like leaving the lights on in empty rooms the link between energy consumption and the greenhouse effect. In the last 2 years the energy bill in my parental home has reduced by 50% (we saved around 500$ the first year and 460$ the second year).
I feel happy and complete to have participated in this program. I have derived benefits that will accompany me daily for the rest of my life.
