Ten Things You Can Do To Reduce UO's Environmental
Impact
|
| 1. | Report Wasted Energy and Water Contact Facilities Services at 346-2293 to report any drips or lights left on. |
 |
| 2. | Reduce Paper Use Do not print large quantities of web pages, report drafts, or class notes. Reuse bags, envelopes, and scrap paper. Make double-sided copies, use route slips, and electronic communication when possible. |
|
| 3. | Turn Off Lights When Not In Use Buy fluorescent desk lamps and replacement bulbs instead of incandescent or halogen ones. |
 |
| 4. | Turn Off Monitor When Not In Office Or Room Turn off computer when not in use. Buy energy efficient computer equipment with the Energy Star label (available at http://www.energystar.gov). |
|
| 5. | Buy Products Containing Recycled Material So we can recycle the products we buy! |
|
| 6. | Bike, Walk, Carpool, Or Take The Bus Remember, LTD is FREE to the UO Community... Just show your UO I.D. |
|
| 7 | Conserve Water When washing your hands, use only enough water to wet your hands and rinse off the soap. Turn off the faucet in between these times. Every drop counts! |
|
| 8. | Regulate Your Own Temperature Dress appropriately for the season. Wear sweaters during winter instead of turning up thermostats and using space heaters. Use energy wisely! |
|
| 9. | Avoid Disposable Products Use a refillable mug (available at Campus Recycling). Reuse shopping bags (or buy a canvas one). Select products with reduced and recyclable packaging. |
|
| 10. | Recycle Your Used Materials Paper, cardboard, and beverage containers can be recycled in designated sites around the UO campus. |
