Make Your Thanksgiving Break Sustainable
Before leaving campus for Thanksgiving break, please do the following:
- Turn off all office and personal equipment such as computers, printers, copiers, etc.
- Unplug paper shredders, staplers, phone chargers.
- Put your fax machine in "sleep" mode.
- Unplug coffee machines, water coolers, televisions and all other electronic equipment.
- Water or take home plants.
- Close and lock all windows.
- Turn off all lights, including decorative and task fixtures.
