Live Sustainably
Do the right thing at home and on campus by following these steps to reduce your carbon footprint:
- Divert your waste into the correct bins. What goes where?
- Choose alternative transportation for your commute
- Conserve energy by shutting down your computer at the end of the day, turning off lights when they aren't needed, and closing the blinds on hot, sunny days.
