Minimize Your Waste

• Replace incandescent light bulbs with CFL bulbs.
• Turn off unused or unneeded lights and use natural lighting instead of electric lighting whenever possible.
• Keep windows and doors closed in heated and air-conditioned areas.
• Turn off computers and printers when they are not in use, especially laser printers.
• Don’t use power strips to turn on all computers and desk equipment at once.
• When purchasing computers and peripherals, buy low wattage equipment.
• Minimize use of screen savers and instead enable power management features.
• Try to wash 90% of clothes in cold water.
• Conserve water by taking shorter showers and turn off water while brushing teeth, washing face, shaving or washing dishes.
