As temperatures drop throughout the wintertime, small changes can have a meaningful impact on the med center’s campus sustainability goals.
Simple steps for a sustainable season:
- See a leak? Report it immediately to campus facilities.
- Layer clothing and enjoy warm beverages to stay warm without adjusting the thermostat.
- When leaving rooms, turn off lights, computers and equipment. This is a great habit year-round.
- Clear snow from doorways so doors close fully, keeping heated air inside.
- Gear up and winterize the commute. Sustainable transportation boosts mental and physical health while reducing emissions.
- Host zero-waste events with the LiveGreen Ambassador’s toolkit.
Environmental stewardship supports health, the community and the planet, so join the campus sustainability efforts by taking action this winter.
