Warwick Uni Blackout held its' first event on 26th February 2015 in the Warwick SU Atrium. It first started out as an event to promote Earth Hour, and we aimed to shut off as many building lights across the university as possible. Our efforts led to "investigating how much power the university really needs, & creating a 3-5 year plan with the Sustainability Officers to find practical, commercially-viable solutions" (Riana Mahtani - Warwick Blackout Founder and Coordinator). Warwick Uni Blackout created petitions for our inaugural event in order to push for Blackout to be an annual event, and to persuade the university to analyse their insufficient management of their lighting system.
