    I have a lot of electronics, my school is all online and my computer is where I spend most of my free time, but my energy footprint was way smaller than I anticipated. Turning off lights, powering down machines, and not running my heat and AC all day saves a lot of power. 
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Waste Go Paperless
    Reducing your paper mail can be such a freeing action to take -- by reducing what is coming in, you can reduce what is going into the recycling bin too. How does it make you feel? What is the next step you will take to reduce your waste?

    I love not getting a bunch of mail that I would normally just throw away, it saves time and waste getting electronic billing instead of paper.
