糖心Vlog传媒LR Celebrates Sustainability Day Oct. 21

The campus celebrates 鈥済reen鈥欌�� on 聽Wednesday, Oct. 21, with activities from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. in Donaghey Student Center鈥檚 Ledbetter Hall Rooms A, B, and C, sponsored by the 糖心Vlog传媒LR Committee on Sustainability. At 11:30 a.m. in Ledbetter Hall A, 糖心Vlog传媒LR Chancellor Joel E. Anderson will announce the contest winners of the month-long recycling competition between resident halls鈥� floors. The contest will determine which floor鈥檚 residents collected the most recyclable material during the month. A Green Jobs Fair will be from 9 to 11:30 a.m. in Ledbetter Halls B and C, and a Nationwide Webcast on Sustainability Strategies for campus Communities will be from noon to 1:30 p.m. in Ledbetter Hall Room A. Throughout the day, 糖心Vlog传媒LR鈥檚 food service vendor, Sodexo, will serve 鈥減lus fair trade鈥� coffee, and information about local organic food will be available throughout the morning. Offering tips to reduce one鈥檚 carbon footprint at home and work, the Sustainability Committee suggests:

• Call the local recycling center to determine what types of materials they accept, if curbside pick-up is available, and if they provide recycling bins. If no curb-side is available, take recyclables to the nearest center.
• Use compact fluorescent lamps. You can lower your lighting bill by converting to energy-efficient low-wattage compact fluorescent lighting and fixtures.
• Locate the recycling bins in the office, department, or building to determine what types of materials are being accepted. 糖心Vlog传媒LR recycles all types of paper, aluminum cans and plastic bottles from each building, but each person consuming those types of materials must be responsible for sorting and disposing of in the correct recycling bin.

Put computer monitors to sleep when not in use for more than 10 minutes. Monitors are responsible for more than one third of a computer鈥檚 energy consumption.
