Save the Planet - Starting With Your Little Corner of It
云顶集团 has embarked on a far-reaching campaign to promote environmental sustainability
throughout our academic and co-curricular 程序s. You can join us by integrating
sustainable practices into your life.
Here are some tips to help you get started:
在宿舍里
- Use compact fluorescent 灯泡, which last longer and use less energy than regular
灯泡.
- Turn off unnecessary electrical devices when you leave a room for more than 15 minutes.
- Enable your computer to go into "sleep mode" when not in use.
- Do not leave computers on all night.
- Unplug appliances and electronics when not in use.
- Unplug cell phone charger when charging is complete.
- Use natural light rather than electric whenever possible.
- Pull down window shades at night in the winter and during the day in the summer.
- Go old school -- try a standard phone with a cord instead of a cordless model, which
需要恒定的能量.
- Turn off and defrost refrigerator over long breaks.
- Don't use power strips to turn on your computer and desk equipment all at once.
- Buy inexpensive mugs and plates that you can wash rather than disposable ones and
avoid over-packaged takeout food.

水.

当怒骂.

- If it’s OK with your professor, hand in assignments by printing on both sides of the
页面.
- Unless you’re a person with disabilites, don’t use automatic doors.
在实验室里
学生:
- Never pour hazardous chemicals down the drain.
- Use as small an amount of chemicals as possible by following instructions and being
exact when measuring out starting materials.
- Reuse cleaning solvents such as acetone and alcohol for initial cleaning of dirty
glassware, using fresh solvent for the final rinse only.
- 准备 chemical waste for disposal as per instructions in the hazardous waste management
程序.
指导老师:
- Always provide proper waste minimization and disposal instructions to students
- Redesign experiments to minimize hazardous chemical waste and to replace toxic reagents
with less hazardous substances.
- Order reagents in exact amounts to avoid leftovers.
- Distill and recycle solvents for use in demonstrations.
- Make sure chemicals are clearly and properly labeled.
In the art and photography studio
- Use nontoxic, biodegradable art supplies.
- Replace oil-based paints with 水-based paints.
- Modify spray-painting techniques to minimize over-spraying.
- Use biodegradable, nontoxic cleaners.
- Minimize use of cleaning solvents for brush cleaning by reusing dirty solvents for
first rinse and fresh solvents for final rinse only.
- Clean brushes with lavender oil instead of turpentine.
在餐厅
- 吃当地种植的食物.
- Carry a reusable cup or 水 bottle. Some 水 bottles come with built-in filters
if you're worried about the quality of the tap 水.
- Limit the use of paper napkins.
- Only take what you will eat to limit food waste.
- Do not remove reusable plates, bowls, cups, or utensils from the dining facilities.

clothing, and puts a dent in the problem of sweatshops.

- Buy recycled products, such as paper, and get environmentally safe cleaning products.
