• 1. Try to avoid using Styrofoam. Instead of eating out of the Styrofoam bowls at La Cantina or The Wok, take a soup bowl up to the counter or ask for it on a plate.
• 2. If you simply must eat out and want to avoid any trash, (styrofoam, paper or disposable plastic) take a plate/bowl/RHF cup of your own up to the counter. Since the servers won't place the food directly onto your plate (for sanitary purposes) simply ask for your food on a plate and then transfer onto your own.
• 3. Join TREE.
• 4. In order to save yourself money and time, take discarded paper from the recycling bins in dorms and punch holes with a three-ring-hole puncher ($2.43 at Mish Mish). Then just use the backs of these to take notes, doodle, or whatever. Viola, you no longer need notebook paper!
• 5. Pick up trash.
• 6. Turn the water off when you brush your toofies.
• 7. Either bring a cloth sack or reuse the paper/plastic bags from the
grocery store as trash bags. Jars make great glasses, too.
• 8. Just because the label says it is made from recycled stuff doesn't mean exactly that. Companies can pick up the scraps that lay on the floors in plants and legally call it "recycling." If it's post-consumer, it's the real thing.
• 9. Don't be afraid to recycle those beer cans/bottles, freshman. Your RA will be proud.
• 10. Be conscious. Use your voice as well as your head. "If your not helping, than as far as I can see you are just in the way." -Ani Difranco
