 Friday Night Lights is a program that this Produced Students Sustainability Council organizes where groups of students go around campus turning off lights in instructional spaces on a Friday evening that might otherwise stay on for the entire weekend. I've always really been interested in environmental issues that are going on. I really want to get involved with something that could see my direct change happening. This seemed like a really cool way to get involved. You can see yourself turn off the light and it's not going to be wasted the whole weekend. Friday Night Lights came about when a former colleague of mine and I were sitting down and talking about how we could increase sustainability efforts on campus. Not only among students but also with administration. So we created a partnership with the campus master planning and sustainability office as well as physical facilities. We also worked with the building deputies and some other administrators to come up with a program identify buildings and then create a framework in which students could go around in pre-identified rooms turn off the lights and collect data as to which lights were on and which lights were left off. I think it's important because it's an ongoing effort to just use a few buildings on campus kind of get a few people involved in sustainability and it's just kind of exploded. I think it's important to reach the people that were reaching with a specific event because they're outside of the typical sustainability community. So we have people from APO the service organization, we have people from Men's Rugby that come in all the time and help us out just from all over and everyone just gets to come in and help us do a little bit for the earth and for Purdue and I think it kind of creates a nice cohesive little environment for the evening. It's a very short time commitment and it's like kind of nice to like get to know others who are doing it as well and kind of have fun while doing something really important to the community. These spaces don't have faculty controls or motion controls and that would otherwise turn them off and so this is a way that the students can get involved in some meaningful way to help conserve energy on campus.
