A brief description of the campaign (1st campaign):
Hosted by the University of Alberta, the One Hour, No Power: Campus Challenge is an annual, Alberta-wide challenge to see which post-secondary institution can receive the most student, staff, and faculty pledges to participate in Earth Hour. The institution that achieves the most pledges (expressed as relative to their full time student and full time staff population) wins the challenge.
The One Hour, No Power: Campus Challenge promotes Earth Hour, spreads awareness about the importance of small actions we can all take to reduce our energy use, and provides a simple way for students, staff, and faculty to take action to fight against climate change.
NAIT has been participating in the challenge since its inaugural year in 2010. Since 2010, the challenge has grown from 4 participating post-secondary institutions to 13 in 2015.
