La Cite universitaire francophone

Instead of shredding paper, we accumulate in a box and give it to daycare centers.

I am sharing more and more how destructive for the environment some habits are and ways to change those bad behaviors.

Sent an email to appropriate department for waste of water that can be avoided by simply adjusting water temperature.  Without going into many details, I need to press at least 3 times the shower control  before the water that comes out is not burning hot. 

Share with a friend many ways to reduce printing material or paper (pay bills via internet, smartphone  app)

Shared with my colleagues a better way to clean our dishes at lunch time, reducing usage of water and soap.

Whenever I am offered a plastic bags at a store, I say I don't need one and usually I will have with me a reusable bag or a purse big enough for small items.

I have been thinking of ways to print less. Instead of printing emails that require follow ups, I add detailed notes to my to-do list and file my email in a to-do folder (task list), or use a post-it and add it to the file that needs to be dealt with.
