Three easy tips to green your everyday life

Borrow, don't buy
This not only keeps excess packaging out of landfills, it also keeps a little more money in your wallet. Take advantage of the library (we've got a great one on campus!), throw a clothing swap with your friends and borrow household items from your neighbours.

Unplug
Unplugging even small electronics, like cell phone chargers or toasters, can conserve a lot of energy over time. Hook your large electronics (TV, gaming system, Blu-ray player) up to a power bar and shut it off when not in use to lower electricity bills.

Clothes
Washing and drying clothes takes a lot of energy. You can cut down on that by washing clothes in cold water (many companies are now making detergent specifically for cold wash cycles) and hanging them to dry.
