Rhode Island Energy Solutions Expo

The 2008 Rhode Island Energy Expo and NORESCO Proudly Present…

The URI Energy Solutions Contest


Submit a Video showing how you conserve energy and WIN A $500 CREDIT CARD!



Video contest winners will be announced at the Expo plenary session (keynote address) at 11:00 AM



The Contest:

Video submission should address one of the following questions:

  • "How do you cut down on shower time?"
  • “What helps you remember to turn off your computer?”
  • “How can students remember to turn off a fan or air conditioner?”

Why these three behaviors?

A recent survey says…

  • On average, less than 7% of URI students take a shower that lasts 5 minutes or less!!
  • 70% of URI students don’t know that screen savers use electricity, instead of save it!
  • Only 75% of URI students turn off their fan or AC when leaving their room!

BUT…

  • 97% of Students think URI should conserve more energy.
  • 91% believe that their personal actions, in combination with others, have a significant impact on the environment

URI NEEDS YOU TO HELP STUDENTS SAVE ENERGY!!
