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.

Use public transportation, like a WMATA bus or GUTS bus, instead of driving or ubering.

Check out what Georgetown University has to offer in regards to improving your health through connecting with nature through the NatureRx program. Join groups or activities centered around getting outdoors.

Use Georgetown's bike sharing program instead of driving or ubering.
