Make Your Thanksgiving Break Sustainable

Friday, November 19, 2010, By News Staff

Before leaving campus for Thanksgiving break, please do the following:

  • Turn off all office and personal equipment such as computers, printers, copiers, etc.
  • Unplug paper shredders, staplers, phone chargers.
  • Put your fax machine in “sleep” mode.
  • Unplug coffee machines, water coolers, televisions and all other electronic equipment.
  • Water or take home plants.
  • Close and lock all windows.
  • Turn off all lights, including decorative and task fixtures.
  • Email energy@syr.edu if you are leaving before Nov. 24 to have your heat lowered. 

All of these efforts contribute to SU’s Climate Action Plan, the institutional blueprint for becoming carbon neutral.
