    Operation Blackout

    Many high street stores across the UK think it makes sense to leave their lights on all night for potential 'window shoppers'

    The case however is not many people go window shopping at night time (especially on cold nights) and these shops can save more money and thus gain a greater profit, just by simple switching their lights off.

    Not only that, the amount of carbon saved by switching these lights off when the shop is closed can be an extraordinary amount.

    Join us to find out the amount of Carbon Oxford Street, London wastes by not turning their lights off
    and then join in turning around the behaviour of these well known high street brands.
