Regardless of the classes you take and the organizations you join, you can always be committed to sustainability in your everyday life! Here are some general tips to keep in mind and slowly limit your impact on the environment.

再利用和再循环

  • Whenever possible, use a reusable water bottle, coffee cup or utensils.
  • Ask for 纸 bags instead of 塑料袋 when shopping or bring a reusable bag. 
  • Be sure to recycle news纸s, 铝罐, 纸, plastic bottles and jugs, 玻璃瓶, jars and cardboard.
  • Some things that do not belong in the recycling bin include Styrofoam, 芯片包, 塑料袋, 纸 towels or napkins, juice or milk cartons and lightbulbs.

消费习惯

  • Buy locally, if possible, instead of purchasing something further away.
  • 买二手! This can include clothing, furniture and decor.
  • Embrace the minimalist lifestyle. Only buy things when you really need them.

用电

  • Use alternatives for heating and A/C. Try opening a window or adding layers before activating a heating or A/C system.
  • Change your lightbulbs to LED. LED bulbs typically use 75% less energy.
  • Use power strips instead of plugging all appliances into outlets. When you are finished using the appliance, turn off the power strip to save energy and money.

食品消费 

  • Buy locally sourced food from the farmer's market. Not only are you supporting the community, but small business owners as well.
  • Try composting food waste.
  • Instead of throwing out food, save it for lunch/dinner or freeze it.

运输

  • Walk or ride your bike to destinations instead of driving a car.
  • Use public transportation through Eau Claire Transit. 
  • Carpool with friends and utilize the UW Eau Claire Rideshare page on 脸谱网.
