Check out the Georgetown Office of Sustainability on Instagram @sustainablegu for weekly clues about sustainable features on campus. If you’re one of the first five to comment correctly, you will win a Starbucks reusable water bottle and free coffee voucher, courtesy of Hoya Hospitality.

I will switch to washing my clothes in cold water, saving up to 133 lbs of CO2 a month and 1,600 lbs of CO2 over the course of the next year.

I will keep lights, electronics, and appliances turned off when not using them.

Skip using plastic bottles and use a reusable bottle. (You could win a Georgetown reusable Starbucks cup by participating in the Sustainability Scavenger Hunt @sustainablegu or by being one of the top ten participants on EcoChallenge)

Sign up for Hoya Hospitality's reusable to-go box program and use the to-go boxes to reduce single-use waste.

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, and all disposable to-go containers are compostable. Leo’s has compost, trash, and recycling options for post-consumer food waste.

Instead of throwing everything into the trash, reduce the amount of waste sent to the landfill by recycling. Georgetown uses a single stream recycling system, so all common recyclable materials (with the exception of corrugated cardboard) should be placed in the same bin.

I will power down my computer and monitor when not using it for more than 2 hours, saving up to (1.1) lbs of CO2 each day that I do this.
