Tips from Sustainability Support

1. Fluorescent Lights

Fluorescent lights generate only 1/5 as much greenhouse gas as ordinary globes, yet still produce the same amount of light.

2. Full Load

Operate appliances such as dishwashers and glass-washers with full loads.

3. Native Plants

Create an environmentally friendly garden by using native plants

4. No Junk Mail

Put a no junk mail sign on your letterbox. Junk mail can be accessed online.

5. Plant Trees

Planting trees is an effective way to absorb or 'sequester' carbon dioxide emissions.

6. Power Down

If you are going to be away from your desk for over half an hour switch off the monitor.

7. Save Paper

Think twice before printing all documents, especially drafts and emails.

8. Shower Heads That Save

Install water saver shower heads; keep showers short (saves heating energy too)

9. Stay Cool

The temperature of a cooled room in summer should be about 24°C

10. Warm Up

Close curtains on cold winter nights to keep the heat in.
