Making your residence hall room or apartment more sustainable has never been easier, especially if you’ve taken the time to move-in with sustainability in mind!

Take the quiz below to find out how sustainable your room and your habits rate:

 

Your room smells like feet! What do you do?
You’re late for class! Do you take the time to turn off your lights and appliances, or head out the door in a hurry?
Oh no, the shirt you want to wear tomorrow is dirty. What do you do?
Your light bulb blew! When buying a replacement bulb, do you pick the incandescent, compact fluorescent (CFL), or light-emitting diode (LED) bulb?
Mmmm, that pizza was good! Do you throw the box in the gray landfill or green compost dumpster?
So many electronics! Do you use an extension cord or power strip?
Oh no, the faucet is leaking! Do you ignore it or report it ASAP?
It’s getting hot in here! Do you turn on a fan or put the AC on high?
