Welcome back Berry College! As you begin these last 7 weeks of the semester.... Use the 3Rs (Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle)! You’ll be surprised how much money you save while you help the planet. The 3Rs ask you to buy less, reuse more and recycle products at the end of their useful life. These three easy principles will help bring your lifestyle into balance with nature and significantly help the environment!

Next time you’re taking a shower, brushing your teeth, or using the toilet make sure you follow these tips!... o Take 5 minute showers! o Turn off the water while you’re brushing your teeth! o Flush appropriately! When yellow flush up and when brown flush down!! See more
