I pledge to support UM’s sustainability goals and initiatives. I commit to reducing my own environmental impact and supporting my community in these ways:

Energy

Adjust the thermostat by a few degrees

Always turn off lights and appliances that aren't in use

Unplug chargers and electronics when they're not in use

Set energy saving modes and functions as defaults on all appliances

Use cold or warm water setting on the washing machine

Switch to compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs)

Waste

Consume less!

Recycle paper, cardboard, #1 and #2 plastics, aluminum and tin

Reduce food waste

Always double-side prints and copies

BYOC- bring your own cup!

Take reusable bags shopping

Avoid products with excessive packaging

Transportation

Bike, walk, or bus

Carpool when driving is unavoidable

Combine errands to reduce need for travel

Food

Buy local and seasonal products and produce

Choose organically produced, and fair trade certified goods

Cut down on heavily processed foods
