Help keep the GREEN in Evergreen!

• Turn off your computer when you're not using it
• Turn off your lights and unplug appliances when you are not using them
• Report all dripping faucets to RAD Facilities by calling 867-6764
• Purchase a reusable coffee mug and use it daily to get discounts at campus dining facilities
• Use a refillable container for water
• Take public transportation and use the Night-Line
• Turn down your heat, wear sweaters, and use blankets instead
• Be mindful of water consumption by taking shorter showers and turning off the faucet when you are brushing your teeth and shaving
• Bring your own bags when you go shopping and reuse them often
• When eating in campus dining facilities look for local and organic options
• Support the Organic Farm by purchasing fresh-grown veggies and flowers from the farm stand on Red Square on Tuesdays and Thursdays starting at 11 am
• Buy local whenever possible
• Purchase green cleaning supplies at the Corner Store
• Compost your food scraps and yard waste
• Purchase textbooks from the Bookstore: individual student online ordering means single-item shipping which exponentially increases deliveries to the school
• Bring old things to give away at the Free Store and take home new-to-you things to simultaneously save things from the landfill and decrease production of new stuff
