Easy to make small changes.
My syllabi include instructions for proper formatting of papers. After reading about Change the Margins, I added a note to tell students that if they want to use .75" margins instead of 1" margins in the interest of saving paper, they are welcome to do so.
When a student does change the margins, I feel pretty darn proud to have an environmentally-aware citizen in my class.
What small change toward being green have you made recently?
I’ve started making these:

I actually had a whole month of blog posts on going green and what it means. I think that if everyone were to just take a few moments and think about the little things in their lives … we could have a much happier world. Like not leaving the water running. Watering the lawn a bit less. Growing some of our own food. Buying local.
Love the frog. So cute on his leaf.
