Lights – turn off your light if you are leaving any room for more than 15 minutes, including offices and common areas.

Computers – turn off computers and monitors at the end of the day.

Café/Cage – enjoy your meal with others in the cafeteria or the Cage instead of getting your food to go in a disposable container.

Printing – avoid printing papers and e-mails as much as possible. E-mail drafts to others for proofreading and see if you can turn in your assignments electronically. When you do need to print, print on both sides.

Books – check to see if you can find a book at the Library before you order it online. Reserving it from another library in KC is just as fast as waiting for shipping!
