There are certain electronic devices that continue to use power even though they are not turned on, lovingly called "Phantoms". To help save electricity in your home or office remember to unplug your phone, laptop, camera, Ipod, and/or power tool charger.

The Crimson and Green Commitment is an opportunity for OU students, faculty and staff to make a personal pledge toward sustainability.
Between now and December 18, 2009, each commitment signed will be matched by OU with a $2 contribution toward a campus sustainability project. Because of student feedback, this year's project will focus on expanding the University recycling program. Every commitment submitted will result in an additional $2 for campus recycling. You'll see the results in Spring 2010.
