Sustainability Tip of The Week

 

Sustainability Tip of the Week
A simple wish for a better tomorrow

The HVCC Sustainability Committee will be back again in September with the  Sustainability Tip of the Week.  Faculty, staff and students, please keep sending your sustainable ideas to share over the summer for our weekly tip to j.coons@hvcc.edu and when used, receive a token of our appreciation.

The  summer days are longer, temperatures are warmer, and schedules are more relaxed. But even if your summer routine is a departure from what it is the rest of the year, it’s still important to practice green habits. Here are a couple of tips:

  • Eat with the season
  • Grow your own herbs
  • Dry laundry on the line
  • Run a fan
  • Double up on reusable bags
  • Stock up on safer sunscreen.  There are now plenty of affordable options that don’t contain oxybenzone and octinoxate — two common hormone disruptors found in some sunscreens
  • Ditch the car

See you in September!
