  11. Illini Lights Out 5/2/2025

    Illini Lights Out

    At our last Lights Out event of the semester, 2711 light bulbs were shut off that otherwise would have been left on all weekend, saving $412.47 in energy costs. This also prevented 4.045 metric tons of CO2 equivalent from entering the atmosphere, which is equivalent to the greenhouse gas emissions from 397 gallons of gasoline being consumed. That's a great impact and thank you all for a great semester!
