UM: Going Green

UM student Andy Kroll is writing a series for UWire about how he’s reducing his carbon footprint. (FoxNews.com is also posting Kroll’s blog entries here.) In this post, Kroll describes his efforts to reduce water consumption: ”A bad habit of mine is leaving the sink faucet running when I’m brushing my teeth or shaving (on the few days I actually do it). It may seem like an innocuous mistake, but all that wasted water adds up day after day … after day. It’s simple: I’m just paying more attention anytime I’m at the bathroom sink, making sure to use water only when I absolutely need it and not leaving it on so much. This takes barely any time at all – you just have to be aware of your habits and tweak when necessary.” [Source]
