15 ways for ATENEANS to Save the World...
1 - bring your own water bottle
it saves you money, you lessen disposable water bottles in
our trash bins, and they now come in almost any style you want.
2 - make your blogs black
...because a black screen saves a whole lot more energy
than white ones (visit www.Blackle.com for more details)
3 - bring baon
...and help prevent disposable food
containers from instantly going to waste
4 - jog outside instead of using the treadmill
...because it's free and doesn't cost you money nor electricity
5 - use fluorescent light
...instead of incandescent ones to save a whole lot more energy.
fyi, if you think white light is unattractive, it's now available in yellow :)
6 - eat more vegetables and raw food
...to save gas and add healthier stuff in our tummies
7 - wear jeans more often
...since they can be worn more than once without washing.
it saves you water and the hassle of having it washed often
8 - try playing board/card/whatever other "monitor-or-TV-avoiding"
games instead of computer games
they're relatively cheaper, don't require much energy, and they'll probably grant
you a more productive bonding experience with the people you play with
9 - borrow books instead of photocopying
...to save paper and photocopy machine energy!
not to mention falling in line
10 - support social enterprises!
there are sooo many student-run social enterprises in our campus! all you have to
do is read e-mails, bulletins, teasers, blackboard notes, or ask around to find them!
(clue: probably the Developmental Studies majors know where they are)
11 - don't use a straw for drinks
...because straws are one of the most abundant YET preventable pieces
of trash in our dump sites. try adding all the straws you used this
week and multiply that by number of students you think use straws
12 - study or work or just do stuff outdoors more often
take advantage of our gorgeous zen gardens, free
sunlight, large grassy areas, and fresh campus air.
13 - use pens with refillable ink
...so you only throw that little tube inside the
pen instead of the entire thing all the time
14 - share a room with a good friend or family member at night
...to cut your electricity bill and usage in (almost) half
15 - try your very, very, very best not to use a night light
...because you're old enough and you have to admit
that you really don't need it when you're asleep
start NOW!
