Whether you are a student or employee of WVC, there are many ways that you can practice sustainability on campus. 开始 with 减少, reuse, repair, redesign, and recycle.

• 减少 paper usage by choosing double-sided printing and digital options for document-sharing.
• 减少 food waste by only buying what you can eat and prioritizing eating leftovers.
• 修理物品 rather than buy new ones or buy second-hand items and then resell or 捐赠 them once you no longer need them.
• ride the bus (passes are free for students and staff), bicycle, skateboard or walk 到校园到 减少 your carbon footprint.
• 合伙使用汽车 instead of driving individually
• turn off your engine if you are just sitting in your car, instead of idling.
• turn off lights when you leave your office or a room where no one else will be.
• wear a sweater or extra layers rather than turn up the heat in winter to conserve energy.
• get involved with our organic garden through the Agriculture Club, grow your own produce at home or buy locally grown food at the farmer’s market to 减少 食物里程.
• 捐赠 food and personal hygiene products to the Knight’s Kupboard to help meet social justice and economic fairness goals of sustainability.
