tips from Student Council As designers,we should practice what we preach.
•
Carpool/ride a bike whenever possible - saves on gas and helps the parking situation on campus.
•
Invest in a reusable water bottle with lid - creates less waste.
•
Save scraps of material in studio in a community scrap box why throw it away when someone else from your studio can use it.
•
Reuse grocery bags as poopy bags to clean up after pets.
•
Find a way to recycle your studio models (or base) - do not leave it up to the school to get rid of it.
•
Create an electronic portfolio via a website - online your portfolio can be as many pages as needed.
•
Turn off your monitors, and lights when leaving a room, if possible. Screen savers don’t save energy- it actually costs $50/yr in energy usage! For more tips or to suggest tip visit our blog at www.uhcoastuco.blogspot.com
