Turn off your lights and open your blinds!

Turn off your lights and open your blinds!

Join SUNY Cortland and hundreds of organizations around the world in a campaign to raise awareness of the value of simple daylight.

Members of the college community are asked to switch off lights in offices for one hour at noon Friday, June 19, and work in the light of old-fashioned, window-enabled sunshine.

Daylight Hour is a global social media campaign by the Building Energy Exchange to promote the energy, cost and health benefits of using daylight when electric lighting is unnecessary. Participating in the event, wherever you are, helps demonstrate that the Red Dragon community has green roots.
