• Make a logo(s).
• List of 10 things you can do to reduce Campus Environmental Impact...make a 1/2 sheet flier and send to all campus departments ask them to post information.
• Make conservation stickers " Use Wisely": apply as needed to printers, copy machines, light switches and over water faucets.
• Use sticker designs for banners, post around campus in strategic spots.
• Use sticker designs for ads in the paper.
• Do advertising on campus radio station (30 seconds costs $10) to remind students.
• Put energy tips/factoids in faculty/staff newsletter.
• Get student paper to cover global energy issue and also do some focus on what your college is doing and what people can do to help.
• Make sure to have news article feature impacts of use and how conservation helps.
• Make and install light switch covers.
• You can make plastic no glue stick-on decals for areas you are concerned about cleaning. These work great on mirrors.
• Make and distribute table tents in food service areas, on library tables with factoids and what you can do to help reduce the impact.
• Make decals or posters and put them on the back of toilet stalls.
• Factoid signs by elevators and building entrances.
• Promote positive things that are being done on a public level, for example: "This exit sign is run by a compact fluorescent which uses (x)% less energy then a incandescent bulb"
• Make stickers for computer monitors that say: Use wisely, every watt counts. Help conserve energy, shut off monitor, printer, computer and log off when not in use. Thanx for conserving!
• Create a general campus brochure about resource conservation at your school; distribute in all new employee and student packets.
• Make portable displays/posters for around campus.
• Do regular factoids on university main front page of web.
• Make an energy use webpage for people to see how much energy the university uses and list how individual actions can help. Noting facts is good.
• Write up a "class rap" to send to all professors and ask them to read it in class OR have an intern go around to all classes and give a short rap on the issue of resource use and conservation.
• Have class or hire students to walk around campus and shut off lights and computer monitors. They can wear t-shirts to explain what they're doing. Incorporate placement of decals on light switches etc.into this practice.
• Create a "Report Wasted Energy" decal and put in all classrooms and departments. Let folks out there tell you where energy is being wasted. Some of this will get handled through maintenance and reduce energy use.
• Send conservation info, updates to all department contacts.
• Create a listserve of on-campus staff for contacts.
• Have an energy person go to each department meeting and talk about things an individual can do and also explain how to heat and cool areas in resource efficient manner. This will give folks a chance to ask questions and work as a team to reduce energy such as use of space heaters and air conditioners.
• Break down myths. For example: people think that computers have energy saving devices so why shut off a computer? Because even on low energy, the computer is still drawing energy. Shutting it off reduces the energy use to a trickle.
• Get support from the President of the University. Have them send out a "directive" on energy use, especially limiting abuse of energy system (leaving heat on high all weekend for one person to come in for 2 hours!)
• Do regular tabling in public areas. Talk to local utility and see if there's anything they can contribute such as displays coupons or free low watt light bulbs, any rebates etc....or even sell light bulbs at cost?
• Do a survey of campus and students; find out what they're thinking.
• On campus where people are working out, find ways to tap into that energy. For example: make all the exercise bikes power themselves!
• Turn down ALL campus hot water heaters.
• Educate but also innovate. Make conservation the rule not the exception. (i.e. lock out hot water cycle on all campus washing machines).
• If you can do it, work with your work unit to have one closed workday a month.
• Create incentives for people to ride their bikes (giveaways, reduced parking passes)
• Get the word out. Make logo decals and posters and put them all over the place. Like recycling, the symbol is a good way to reach many people!

• Form a Resource Conservation team of facilities managers and someone to do education
• Increased maintenance especially on leaking systems...this can greatly reduce energy leakage
• Exit lighting project to reduce lighting impact
• Team up with local utility to do a bunch of projects and share costs (such as sensors etc.)
• Install low user sensors on vending machines
• Evaluate possible easy solutions to heating and cooling such as adding shades, planting trees etc ... Resource team has been going to different department meetings to explain to them how to maximize their cooling and heating through use of open and closing windows.... Instead of turning heat up or turning on air conditioning
• Energy education to get folks to help by turning off computers etc.
• Have a crew of work study students go around all day long and shut off classroom lights
• Enlist campus community to report wasted energy (like leaks and over lighting...)

Thank you for conserving resources and recycling at the University of Oregon!
