Waste
Use the compost bin at Leo's and Epicurean
Instead of just tossing out your trash, reduce the amount of waste sent to the landfill by composting. Hoya Hospitality composts back-of-house food waste in our kitchens. You can compost at Leo’s and Epicurean too. Epicurean and Leo’s has compost, trash, and recycling options for post-consumer food waste.

Skip using plastic bottles and use a reusable bottle. You could win a Georgetown reusable Starbucks cup by participating in the Energy Instagram Trivia @sustainablegu or by being one of the top ten participants on EcoChallenge.
Waste
Use a resuable to-go box at Leo's
Sign up for Hoya Hospitality's reusable to-go box program and use the to-go boxes to reduce single-use waste. Start by picking up a token at Leo’s welcome desk down stairs and following the instructions linked on this action.

Turn it off
I will turn off the lights and power down/unplug electronic devices when not in use. These sticker and light switch covers were driven by the winning student group from the Georgetown Energy Innovation Challenge (GEIC).

REFLECTION QUESTIONNature Connect with natureHow do you feel after spending time outside?
Grace Guernsey 10/29/2024 8:20 PMI always feels grounded and more awake. I love to stand in the sun between classes to recenter myself. When I get stressed, I always take a walk in the sun and remind myself that I am okay.-
Samantha G 10/30/2024 9:17 AMI love feeling the sun on my face. On sunny days when I go for a walk I often stop for a moment to feel the sun, and it's especially nice in the winter, when the sunny days are few and far between. -
