A Little Sustainability Goes A Long Way...
D
eveloping sustainable habits that you practice everyday can make a difference for the environment and often saves money!
1. Bring your own bags. Next time you're on the way out the door to run to the store, make sure to grab some reusable bags. Every year there are 1 trillion plastic bags used; be part of the movement to reduce that number! If you do forget your bags sometimes, make sure to recycle your used plastic bags at one of the film recycling locations on campus.
2. Unplug or turn off your power strip. When your computer, cell phone or other electronics are not plugged into charge, power strips are still using electricity. Make a note to yourself until unplugging a power strip whenever it's not in use becomes a habit.
3. Always keep a reusable mug on hand. Have to start your day out with a cup of coffee? Bring your own coffee mug rather than using a throw away one! Carry a travel mug in your backpack and you'll always be set. Luther College dinning services offers discounts on any beverage such as coffee or hot chocolate if you bring a reusable mug! Improve the environment AND your budget.
