个人的行为

你能做什么

每个动作都很重要. Your personal actions influence your habits and those around you. Be a good example - it'll help yourself and your planet!

Although this list is written for dorms and college libraries, many of these practices can be applied to offices, 公寓, 房屋, 和更多的.

减少足迹的方法:

  • 如果你有选择的话, only run your heat and air condition when you're in your room (information about how to operate your units can be found 在这里)
  • Instead of adjusting the temperature in your room to be more comfortable, adjust your clothing - put on a sweatshirt or take off a layer
  • 为你的个人灯具投资LED灯
  • 尽可能使用自然光
  • Only turn on your lights when you need them - and don't forget to turn them off!
  • Unplug unused or less frequently used items - they're still using energy
  • 在冬天, 在夏天,如果你的宿舍有空调, make sure your windows are closed tight - leaky and open windows require a lot more energy to keep your room comfortable
  • 使用后请关闭所有AV设备
  • 关灯 
  • 白天使用自然光
  • Take as much as you're willing to eat - you can always go back for more 
  • 限制使用外带容器的数量
  • 在选择外带之前先在家里吃
  • 如果你决定边走边吃, ditch the plastic utensils - keep a set of reusable utensils in your bag!
  • Bring your own travel mugs instead of taking a paper cup
  • 不要用吸管
  • 使用洗衣房里的晾衣架
  • Use cool water - it makes your clothes last longer, and your clothes are still just as clean as if you used hot water
  • 只有当你有一大堆衣服要洗的时候才洗
  • Do your laundry less frequently - rewear items before washing
  • 使用环保洗衣产品
  • 把烘干机里的绒毛倒出来
  • 双面打印
  • 每面打印两页
  • Do your readings on your computer instead of printing
  • 用黑白墨水代替彩色墨水
  • Don't run the water while you're brushing your teeth or washing dishes
  • 缩短淋浴时间
  • Use slightly cooler water than you usually do - heating requires energy too!
  • 你离开的时候把灯关掉
  • 回收! Toilet paper and paper towel rolls, plastic bottles, 和更多的 can be recycled
  • 寻找公平贸易或有机产品
  • When buying items in containers, look for plastics, metals, and glass that can be recycled
  • Think about whether or not you really need it before you buy it
  • Buy food items in bulk - doing this reduces the amount of packaging
  • 总是带一个可重复使用的袋子!
  • Buy things used - thrift stores, free boxes, and other places of resale are great resources
  • Consider shopping at a local store before going to a chain store
  • If given the option, request an e-receipt instead of a paper receipt
