As many of us look forward to the mid term Halloween weekend, we are asking for your help to make sure no energy vampires are sucking on our power cables this break.Look out for small indicator lights - a telltale sign that electrical equipment is in “standby” mode, not fully off.#ReduceYourUse

In the recent TU Dublin Smarter Travel Survey- 82% said they want to use sustainable transport - there are many reasons why it's out of reach - but there is real potential to support up to 24% of our community to walk or bike to campus.👣🚲 Read more here:https://tinyurl.com/46m3p8xm

Key to motivating staff & students to travel to campus more sustainably is to show the potential rate of active travel. Distance is often used as an indicator for a potentially active trip- up to 3km is potentially a walkable commute & up to 10km a potential trip by bike.https://tinyurl.com/46m3p8xm

🚲An bhfuil comaitéireacht níos gníomhaí indéanta? Is a more active commute possible?🚶‍♀️The Smarter Travel Survey shows 88% of students travel to campus sustainably (9% of students arriving on foot, 5% by bike & 76% using public transport) showing great potential for more active & sustainable travel!
heatmap image with bike showing distances from 10 to 60km. results included in graphic are that 11% of students travel less than 3km which would be a 13 minute cycle or 28% of students travel up to 10km which would be a 35 minute cycle. text is in irish too.
