Buying Green Here at UCSB Housing and Residential Services, we take care to use our purchasing to increase the demand of more sustainable choices. You can also do the same by buying green products that reduce your carbon footprint while increasing the demand for these products.
Classes
Use your laptop or e-tablet to type up digital notes to save paper and money that would be used on notebooks. Purchase 100% Recycled Notebooks and other high-recycled content products.
Cleaning Look for “chemical free”, “non-toxic”, or “biodegradable” products. Buy a Reusable Water Bottle & Coffee Mug Fill your bottle with water from the filtered water Hydration Stations in the residence halls. Plus, if you bring your mug to certain coffee shops they’ll offer you a discount.
Additional Green Habits Use Reusable bags when possible. Think twice about using a UCSB bookstore plastic bag and carry a reusable one. Recycle your readers at the end of the quarter. Take the extra couple seconds to find a recycle bin to toss that can.
