30 Tips on Hall Life How to Live a Green Hall Life? • Switch off light, air conditioner and other electronic appliances when they are not in use. • Reduce water wastage by turning off dripping taps. • Reduce water consumption by spending less time in the shower. • Recycling paper, clothes and other resources whenever possible. • Support the environmentally friendly programs and activities organized by SHRLO and Hall Office. • Get loaded when doing laundry, it takes less energy to do one big load than two smaller ones. • Reduce the need for ironing by taking clothes out of the dryer slightly damp and hanging them up. • Clothing recycling boxes are available outside Hall I (next to express lifts) and Hall VI for easy drop-off. • Stay updated on residence hall announcements about check-out recycling initiatives and the HKUST Garage Sale. • Make effective use of any used item(s) and donate item(s) to people in need via charitable organization such as The Salvation Army Recycling Programme: https://recycling.salvationarmy.org.hk/ Po Leung Kuk In-kind Donation: https://www.poleungkuk.org.hk/en/page/detail/17356/ Network Connection The Residential Network (ResNet) is the service provided by the Information Technology Services Office (ITSO).
