Space Heater “Amnesty” Day

On Monday, February 22, from 11 a.m.-2 p.m. in Houston Hall’s Reading Room (next to Bodek Lounge), the Green Campus Partnership will hold a Space Heater “Amnesty” Day.

Although space heaters are technically prohibited on campus, many Penn staff and faculty use them to stay warm during cold winter months. Not only are space heaters considered fire hazards, but they consume a large amount of electricity. Join Penn’s energy conservation efforts during the Power Down Challenge by participating in Space Heater “Amnesty” Day: http://www.upenn.edu/sustainability/sites/default/files/PDF_posters/Space%20Heater%20Amnesty%20Day_0.pdf

Trade in your old space heater for an energy-efficient CozyToes™ heated foot pad. CozyToes™ heated foot pads are a new alternative to space heaters, and only use 75 watts and up to 95% less energy than conventional space heaters.
