Please join your fellow staff and faculty in reducing utility expenses and helping the environment over winter break.  Before leaving campus, please take a few simple steps to help minimize consumption of energy:

*  Turn off all lights and office equipment.

*  Power down your computer, monitor, speakers, and printer.

*  Unplug unnecessary appliances, including cell phone and other electronic device chargers.

*  Close and lock windows to minimize heating losses.

*  If you have access to it, lower your thermostat to 60 degrees.

*  Ensure all fume hoods are closed and turn off research equipment, where possible.
