...door. 7) Wage a war on energy leaks. Assignment one: Kick down next door neighbor’s door and rip out his alarm clock from the socket. Apparently polite Post-Its about his blaring alarm are ineffective. 8) Get a dining hall dog to help with the no-potato-left-behind effort. 9) Shut off your computer when you go to sleep. For real, the screen saver doesn’t save shit. 10) Use the green-handle toilets for water conservation. If you don’t see green, you have permission not to flush. 11) Steal bulbs...
