Suggestions for on-campus energy niceness below
So many possibilities for a photo-op!
Turn off–
- a light
- a monitor (NOT the CPU though)
Bring your own–
- water bottle
- mug (and get a discount at the cafeteria and at Starbuck’s)
- eco-container (and avoid the take-out container cost [you can purchase the eco-container at the cafeteria])
Close–
- a window
- a door
- the blinds
Sort your waste–
- into compost, recycle, and landfill-bound receptacles
Move it–
- Take the stairs to the second (or higher) floor
Open–
- Your own door–no need to use the automatic opener unless you really need to
Be a part of climate action and flick off–because hey, even lights and devices need a break!
