Things You Can Do: Energy Wars

Green Homecoming Tips

Reduce

  • Only buy what you really need.
  • Buy things in bulk to cut down on packaging waste.
  • Avoid idling your car while tailgating; it’s bad for the air and smelly too!

Reuse

  • Use reusable cups, plates, and utensils at your pre-game party.
  • If you use disposable picnic-ware you can still re-use it, and doing so can save you some money next time.
  • Make signs from old poster boards then recycle them when you are done.
  • Make a float using recycled materials; try using UNR paraphernalia such as plastic bags from the bookstore or old club or team gear.
  • Save anything with a University logo for making spirit signs to show your Wolfpack support.

Recycle

  • Recycle all plastic materials.
  • Recycle all aluminum cans.
  • Have your own bins for recycling to make sure the job gets done.
