top 5 ways to reduce your carbon footprint at NU: 1. Recycle. It sounds simple, and it is. By putting your plastics, papers, and aluminum in their respectable bins, you save tons of precious energy. 2. Watch the Faucet. While brushing those pearly whites, taking a shower, and doing any other wet activity, limit your water usage. Every drop counts-even a leaky faucet can waste 1500 gallons of water per year! 3. BYOB. Instead of taking another plastic shopping bag to tote your goods, bring your own reusable bag. On that note, bring your own travel mug next time you need a cup o' joe at Norbucks. 4. Do it in the Dark. Whenever possible, flick those light switches off and use natural lighting. When you must use lamps, make sure they are equipped with compact fluorescent lightbulbs. 5. Watch What you Eat. For once, listen to what the nutritionists say. nuCuisine provides many organic, local food products, MOSAIC food co-op offers a community-based dining plan, and when you are on your own, shop at the Evanston Farmer's Market.
