Green Move-In
Think Green!
At Move-In and throughout the year, GW is committed to sustainability. We encourage you to make Move-In green by taking the following actions:
- Think about packing items in reusable containers.
- Consider buying green when purchasing items for your room.
- We are minimizing the amount of paper handouts you'll receive upon check-in, so plan ahead and print out only the information you'll need upon arrival such as campus maps, directions to your hall and to local stores or restaurants, shopping lists and hub site locations.
- If you bring cardboard moving boxes, or have pre-shipped items, break
the boxes down and bring them to designated recycling areas (in hall
lobbies or outside the hall) or send one or two home with your family
for reuse.
- GW has a robust recycling program. Do your part by disposing of your water bottles, soda cans and other recyclable materials in the designated receptacles around campus on move-in day and throughout the year.
- Familiarize yourself with conservation tips for GW residents.
- Look for GW's newest addition to its fleet of recycling vehicles - last year students, staff, faculty, and alumni participated in a design contest for our newest recycling truck.
- Participate in the GW Eco-Challenge starting September 1, 2009!!
