Reduce heating in dorms and classrooms
Composting buckets outside of each dorm
Replace paper towels in dorm bathrooms with something else
Focus The Nation
Do It In The Dark Month

Double-Sided/Energy Star printers
Get teachers to accept papers through the internet and on reused/back side of paper
Work more with Sustainability Committee
Ask Point News to reduce amount of paper used in publication and to not hand it out on the Greens, they just blow away. Or offer it online.
More Eco-Friendly grass-cutting, leaf cleanup, gardening.
