How I did it: Basically, I just followed the guidelines that were made by my school, which is extremely concerned with environmental sustainability.

We do simple things like make sure things are unplugged if we're not using them, and shutting off lights when we leave. Then it gets to be a bit more complicated with composting, but the school makes it pretty simple.

We also have programs to compete between the dorms for how much energy can be saved.
