Zero Waste Week
Hey all,
For those of you who don't know zero waste week is starting on Monday, November 1st. Zero Waste Week is sponsored by the sustainability office and it's purpose is to make campus more aware about the sustainability movement. How do you join? Stop by the sustainability office in Reynolds for your free attachable plastic bag. The responsibility of each volunteer is to attach this bag to your backpack and carry it around with you for the week. You will have to put everything that you would normally put into the trash into the bag (excluding some extremes like bodily fluids or food). It's important to remember the purpose is to understand how much each of us waste and not to torture yourself.
Other than this, Recyclopse has been doing well. There are a bunch of ways you can become more sustainable and here is a list of some.
1). tell your friends
2). every time you buy think about whether it's sustainable or not.
3). try alternate forms of transportation
4). eat less meat
5). install a programmable thermostat
6). Turn off unused lights and electronics
7). Switch to cleaner energy providers
8). Use reusable bags
9). Lower the temperature of the water heater
10). Switch lightbulbs to cf
These are just a bunch of ways that we all can try and limit our energy and waste to become better.
