• Use a reusable bottle for drinks and use your backpack when carrying extra items, instead of using plastic and paper bags.

​

• The bookstore won’t buy back your textbook? Instead of throwing it out, sell it online, donate it or if it’s paperback, toss it in the recycling bin. 

​

• Did you notice how much packaging your last take-out order came in? Dine in when you’re able, to reduce the use and disposal of extra packaging.

​

• Buy used items rather than spending your money on new ones!

​

• Print double-sided, including class notes, research and even the papers you hand in. Use refillable ink cartridges for your printer to save money and the environment.

​

• Become a responsible citizen by picking up all the litter that crosses your path. 

​

• Reuse last semester’s three-ring binder instead of buying a new one.

​

• Educate yourself on the recycling rules of your city, community, and places you visit, and follow them!
