Green Yourself!
Here's a list of easy ways to shrink your carbon footprint:
1) Re-use paper. Print double-sided and only when necessary. Ask professors if you can submit your work electronically.
2) Buy used clothing and furniture. Don't throw out old/used furniture- list it on uloop.
3) Walk, bike, skate or take SEPTA rather than driving.
4) Turn off your computer, lights, TV etc. when not using them. Also- unplug your cell phone charger!
5) Use a reusable water bottle and reusable shopping bags.
6) Save water- take short showers and turn off the tap while brushing teeth.
7) Turn down the heat and AC.
8) Eat locally grown organic food and consider going vegetarian or vegan. Penn holds a farmer's market every Wednesday in front of the bookstore and Clark Park holds a farmer's market every Thursday from 5-7 and every Saturday from 10-1. Don't forget your reusable bag!
9) Recycle!!
