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!
