- Carry a reusable cutlery set to avoid plastic spoons and forks.
- When eating out, bring a reusable container instead of using a disposable take-home box.
- Avoid printing when possible by saving to a shared drive or email copies.
- If printing, print double-sided and use paperclips rather than staples.

- Before shopping for school supplies or tossing old ones out, check out the ShareBox (a school supply reuse and donation center) in Wood Hall.
