What can you do to support our sustainability efforts?
Go outside for meals/breaks
- Getting outside can help lower stress and promote happiness, and staying active can improve your overall well-being. So, when the weather permits, go enjoy the sunshine.
Turn off computers when leaving
- Just finished that late-night GEOG 201 lab grind? Nice! Before you head home, please properly turn off the desktop computer you were working at. By doing so, you can help to save energy and ensure our computers last longer.
Notice something leaking?
- Leaky faucet in the washroom? Water dripping from somewhere it shouldn't be? Please let one of our team members know immediately so that we can quickly resolve the issue and ensure we waste as little water as possible.
Turn in spent batteries
- Have a pile of empty batteries at home that you aren't sure what to do with? Bring them to the GIC, where we will handle the proper recycling for you.
