November 16-20 is Sustainability Pledge Week! Elon's Sustainability Pledge was created to encourage campus community members to reduce their environmental impact. Those who take the pledge are asked to make at least three positive changes in their daily lives. In addition, pledge takers have the opportunity to identify the steps they are already taking to reduce their impact on the environment.
Individual actions do make a difference. As each community member commits to take simple, positive actions, the community’s collective environmental impact will decrease.
Action items range from ‘Print on both sides of paper’ to ‘Use at least two reusable bags each time I shop.’ Items in the pledge are not the only things people can do to lighten their impact but rather serve as a good beginning or reminder for all of us on how we can reduce our environmental impact.
Show your support for a Sustainable Elon, take the Sustainability Pledge and encourage others to do the same!
