Every Action Counts

The Campaign

Every Action Counts is an ongoing campaign at Edinburgh Napier that encourages our university community to take simple steps toward more sustainable living. Whether it’s saving energy, reducing waste, or making more mindful choices, the campaign shows how small changes can add up to a big impact. Running throughout the academic year, it features key activities like Climate Week, the Christmas Switch-Off, and the annual Sustainability Fair, all designed to raise awareness and inspire action.

Energy saving tips

Looking for easy ways to make a difference? Check out our energy saving tips and see how your small actions can have a big impact.

Electricity

• Turn off computers and screens and unplug laptop chargers when not needed. If everyone at the university took this action, in 1 hour we could save the same amount of energy needed to charge over 100,000 smartphones. 

Heating

• If you spot radiators on when not needed, contact the Facilities Service Desk
• Report draughts in campus or accommodation to the Facilities Service Desk
• Only use heating when needed in accommodation 
• If the heating is on, make sure all windows and doors are closed to keep the heat inside. If you're too warm, make sure your heating is off before opening a window

Water 

• Report any drips or leaks on campus or in accommodation to Facilities Service Desk
• Reduce shower times
