September 2013: The BIG Paper Cut
 

Reducing paper waste is just the beginning.

Don't be trashy. Commit to doing the 5 actions below and help GREEN Engineering in no time!

  • Cut the paper cup. Bring your own reusable mug or bottle. Water bottles are also available for purchase from The Cornell Store and many CU Dining locations. Remember to look for bottle filling stations that are closest to you.
  • Don't print it.....SYNC it. Use Cornell Box or OneNote to store documents and collaborate with on- and off-campus partners. Box is CIT-supported and all Cornell faculty, staff and students automatically get 10GB of FREE space.
  • Get to know your recycling bin. Know what you can and can't recycle on campus. Cornell uses single stream recycling, so all your recyclables (paper, cardboard, tin, glass and plastic) go in the same bin. It's that easy!
  • Two sides are better than one. Contact your IT department to make sure your office or network printers are set to default to double-sided printing.
  • Put paper in its place. The following paper items can be recycled anywhere on campus:
    • White paper, colored paper, newspapers
    • Magazines, junk mail, catalogs, glossy paper
    • Spiral notebooks, phone directories, cards, wrapping paper, hardcover books, boxboard
    • Flatten corrugated cardboard
