Interested in environmental issues?

Come to the Glen House tomorrow at 7:30 to discuss Take Back the Tap, an initiative to ban bottled water on campus!

Come to the Glen House tomorrow at 7:30 to hear Carolyn Dash talk about her experiences/work in Antarctica!!

We're doing a little better today but we can definitely conserve more!!

ATTENTION HAMILTON STUDENTS: WE NEED TO STEP UP OUR GAME AND CONSERVE MORE!! We are still in last place in CCN with an increase of 17% in energy consumption. Only Keehn Residence hall has managed to decrease their consumption. This is unacceptable.

Here are a few helpful tips to help us turn this competition around:
1) Wash your clothes on the "bright colors" setting
2) Turn out the lights when you leave the room
3) Turn down your thermostats (Bundies and Dark Side Suites)

Hamilton is currently in last place for the Campus Conservation Nationals....do we really want to lose to Colgate?? Let's step it up here people.

As of today, the three residence halls that reduced the most energy are:

1. Keehn (19% decrease)
2. Major (4.2% decrease)
3. 100 College Hill Road (3.9% decrease)

The three residence halls that reduced the least:

1. Griffen Road, Apartment 1 (18% increase)
2. Bundy East (18.8% increase)
3. Bundy West (21.7% increase)
