Temple's Sustainability Pledge

Please select those that you can commit to:: *

I will participate in Temple's commuting options program, including the University Pass Program (students), Wage Works (employees), Bike Temple, car pooling, car sharing, or I will create my own sustainable commute that avoids single-occupancy car use at least once week.

I will set my thermostats (at home and at Temple) to reflect the University Energy Conservation Policy at 76°F (2+/-) during summer and 68°F (2+/-) during winter where possible.

I will turn off lights and electronic devices when I'm not using them and unplug electronic devices that I don't often use.

I will use compact fluorescent bulbs or LED fixtures wherever possible.

I will use the cold water settings to wash my clothes in order to conserve energy.

I will use blinds, shades, and/or curtains to help maintain a comfortable room temperature in a manner that conserves energy.

I will buy local, organic, or sustainably grown and harvested food when possible.

I will commit to implementing the three R’s: reduce, reuse, and recycle.

I will use a reusable water bottle, reusable mug, and a reusable bag.

I will commit to turning the water off while brushing my teeth, shaving, washing my hands and washing my face.

I will encourage at least one additional person to take the Sustainability Pledge.
