I’m a student at the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology, studying Paleontology, Applied Geology and minoring in Physics. I live in a sorority with quite a few other girls, and I’ve been desperately trying to get the girls to recycle, use less water when when shower, not leave lights and televisions on and use dishes rather than paper plates. I’ve also been trying to get them to use the same coffee mug for when they purchase their delights at the local Starbucks. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I was raised green, and I try very hard to remain true to what my parents have taught me throughout the years. I’m a vegetarian and I only drive when it is absolutely necessary.
