1. Recycle Especially at Notre Dame, recycling is one of the easiest ways to help the environment. More than likely, what you throw out can be recycled (and can be put in one bin). Paper, plastics, aluminum, glass, food containers, and cardboard can all be recycled.

2. Turn the lights off Make an effort to use only as much light as you absolutely need, and turn off any appliances or lights when they are not in use.

3. Unplug When appliances, such as computers, lights, and chargers, are not in use, make sure they are not plugged in.

4. Shorter showers Consistently taking shorter showers is an easy way to save water and energy.
