2. Get educated!
Energy conservation: As a part of the Cowboy family, you are both an “energy saver” as well as an “energy consumer.”
When not in use, turn off all computers, monitors, speakers, and printers. 
Unplug all chargers, fans, coffee pots, and other appliances when you are away.
Before long breaks, clean out small refrigerators, and unplug with door propped open. 
Close blinds and tilt slats upwards to keep cool on hot days.
Turn off lights, and unplug all seasonal lights.

3. Get experienced!
Career: OSU provides classroom education and research on sustainability and sustainable development topics.
Organizations: “Walk the talk” and set an example for peers by reducing waste & conserving energy within your residence hall. Apply to be an Eco-Rep for your Community Council.

4. Get smart! Reduce, Reuse:
Look for minimal packaging; bulk or concentrate forms
Take only what you will eat
Report leaky faucets and shower heads: (405)
Choose durable rather than disposable
Rent, borrow, share or buy used instead of purchasing new
Wash full loads of laundry and use cold water
Have items repaired when possible
