Diesel trucks carry Manhattan's garbage 7.8 million miles every year. That's the equivalent of driving more than 312 times around the Earth!

The Weill Cornell UnPower Hour is the official kick-off of our yearlong energy savings plan. For the tenth year in a row Weill Cornell faculty, students, and staff will power down for one hour on Thursday, March 22, from 2:00 PM to 3:00 PM.
Click here to sign up for Unpower Hour and participate in an eco-friendly prize raffle.
During this hour, you and the entire Weill Cornell Community are asked to switch off as many lights as possible, and find appliances and equipment that can be turned off or reduced in usage. The goal is to get our work done with only the resources needed.
