Office of Energy & Sustainability

Sustainability Pledge

I pledge to help Yeshiva University reduce greenhouse gases and be sustainable. I commit to reduce my own environmental impact in the following ways:


Energy Learn More
Put your computer in sleep mode. Adjust your thermostats at home. Turn off the lights and unplug chargers. Use compact fluorescent bulbs. Wash clothes in cold or warm water. Walk, bike, carpool, bus or take the subway. Take the stairs. In the Labs, close fume hood sashes. Turn off non-essential lab and/or office equipment when not in use.
Food Learn More
Buy local produce and goods. Buy organic. Eat less meat. Reduce food waste in the dining halls.
Waste Learn More
Use a reusable mug or water bottle on campus. Buy goods made from recycled materials. Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. Double side all copies and print jobs. In the Labs, donate unwanted lab equipment to Seeding Labs. Sign up to stay in the loop with the lab sharing listserve.
Water Learn More
Drink tap water, not bottled. Turn the water off when brushing your teeth and shaving. Take shorter showers. Call facilities if you see leaks.
