I always thought of energy consumption issues as a student. When I saw The Student Switch Off project poster, I wanted to be part of the energy saving strategy! I looked at the project’s website and at SSO’s TUC Facebook site. I saw that other friends of mine had liked the site and ask them if they knew more about the project. A friend who participated in the photo competitions last year told me more about how I could get involved, so I first started by sending a photo for a competition. I did not win the first prize but they gave me a very nice book on indoor building energy management. I also decided to do my final thesis on building energy efficiency so I can deepen my knowledge on this.
I find that the Student Switch Off project was the motive for my further engagement in energy issues of my everyday life and maybe …of my professional carrier!
