Mi illumino di meno – National Day for Energy Saving and Sustainable Lifestyles in Italy

M’illumino di Meno is the ‘National Day for Energy Saving and Sustainable Lifestyles’ in Italy and was created in 2005 by Rai Radio 2 (Rai is the Italian national broadcasting company).

UWCT Primary Student Council

It is celebrated every year on 16 February to spread awareness around environmental sustainability and a responsible use of resources. We took part in this nationwide competition that this year counted over 7 million participants and our College was one of them!

So what action are we taking inside our College?
– we switch off lights if we do not need them
– we close windows and doors if we are the last ones in a room
– we are generally responsible with the use of our resources

And… On Friday 16 February we had a candle-lit dinner in our cafeteria!
