Going Green @ Haverford

On Wednesday April 15, 2009, the Committee for Environmental Responsibility(CER) will be giving out Compact Florescent Light Bulbs to staff.  A 13 watt Compact Florescent Light Bulb or CFL will save $38.00 in energy costs over the life of the bulb, based on $0.10 per kWh. Uses 75% less energy, saving on energy bills.  One bulb is rated for 8,000 hours, 8 times longer than a conventional bulb. So, head up to Founders for Staff Appreciation Day, enjoy the festivities and get your free bulb.

If you’re on a bike and it’s Wednesday, then wave!

Answers to commonly asked questions:

What’s Waving Wednesday?

It’s a simple concept! It’s Wednesday and you’re riding a bicycle. You see someone else on a bicycle. You wave to them. They wave to you.

Does it cost anything to particiapte in Waving Wednesday?

Waving Wednesday only costs about 3 calories per wave.

If I wave on Wednesdays, can I still wave on other days?

Waving to promote cameraderie among cyclists is always encouraged.

What qualifies as a wave?

A wave ‘counts’ when you move your hand back and forth at least 3 times. Nodding or saluting do not count-those salutations can find their own darn days.

        Do I really have to do this?

        Yes, you have to.

The Committee for Environmental Responsibility and The Center for Peace and Global Citizenship is sponsoring a “Go By Bike” workshop series, encouraging community members to bike more. For more information contact ckent@haverford.edu or www.haverford.edu/staff/gobybike/
