Welcome to Fordhams first No Impact Week! The following pages are an addendum resource

guide to increase awareness about how the way we live can positively or negatively impact the

environment and to enable participants to live with more simplicity and quality. The guide outlineseasy and creative strategies to assist you with each days challenge.

not about depriving yourself. Instead, this week will give you the opportunity to evaluate whether

modern conveniences really make you happy.

At the end of each day, make sure to post any comments, photos, suggestions, and ideas you have

on our No Impact Week Facebook Page. But first make sure to registerhereand fill out a quick pre-

week surveyhere.

Now lets start creating no impact!

Day 1 - Mon 3/26: Consumption

Strategy 1: Watch Story of Stuff Film.The Story of Stuffis an eye-opening tour of the real costs of

our consumer driven culturefrom resource extraction to waste disposal. This short film will

inform and shock you at the same time.

Strategy 2: Make your own toiletries. Instead of constantly needing to consume, decide to make

your own hygienic products fromshampootoface scrubs. Get the added benefit of knowing whats

in your products and using only natural ingredients, free of preservatives, chemicals, penetrationenhancers, and sulfates. For those more adventurous heres one finallink.

Strategy 3: Explore the magic powder: Baking Soda! Baking soda can be used to make just about

everything. Dont believe us:Check it out!Most impressiveis the baking soda exfoliating scrub, which, unlike common

scrubs today, doesnt contain sketchy ingredientslike

those little plastic balls. This DIY face wash is refreshing and

soothingand anti-acne, too.

Strategy 4: Ditch industrialized cleaners. Say goodbye to

buying your cleaning supplies. Make every type of cleaner

you can think of with just a few ingredients. Instead of wondering what kinds of toxic chemicals you

7) Buy local

are inhaling, absorbing, or disposing of every time your dorm room needs a spit shine, stock up on a

few things and get to work!

Strategy 5: Repair it, dont throw it out! Break the cycle of buy, consume, and discard. Think

instead of use, repair, and repeat. Support your local community by bringing your worn out items

to local businesses to be repaired. Or become a Mr./Ms. Fix-it anddo-it-yourself. If you are in need

of tools, check out local thrift shops (below) or hardware stores (Day Five: Energy) for what youll

Strategy 6: Buy used. If you have to buy something, consider buying it used first. Online thrift

shops, likeeBay,craigslist, orFreecycleare great places to start. To save on shipping costs and

carbon emissions, visit a local thrift shop. While you are on your way there, consider cleaning out

your closet and donating your gently used items.

Strategy 7: Buy sustainable. When you have to buy something new, its important to know whatcompanies and products to choose from. These two

resources will help you as an environmentally conscious

shopper. First, having a set ofsustainable shopping

principleswill help you identify an eco-safe product from

a green rip-off.

Second, use this corporate sustainability scorecard at

Climate Countsto see how serious companies are about

stopping climate change - and how they compare to their

sector competitors.

Day 2 Tue Mar 27: Trash

Strategy 2: Compost! You will definitely notice this on Day Four: Food, but by living a less impactful

life, most of your trash will be able to be composted. So why notcompost itat High School of

Environmental Studies within walking distance of campus? Or find another one usingthis map.

That is, unless you love sharing your dorm space with wiggly, slimy things (read: worms). If this is

you, then check out linkshereandhere.

Strategy 3: Reduce junk mail. Most of the mail we all get today is junk; we discard it immediately.

We all hate it and dont think we have any control over it. But we do! Heres an easywin-win: Cut

down on trash and save some trees to boot. In addition, sign up for paperless billing options with

all your accounts.

Strategy 4: Make snacking sustainable. I know, vending machines seem convenient, but do they

really have your best interests at heart? They are overpriced and rarely have healthy options. In

addition, the individual packaging is too wasteful for my taste. Create portable snacks that

drastically reduce trash. Have the added benefit of taking control over your snacking, and snack

healthy. Follow thesesustainable snacking tips. Or try out thesegreat snack ideas.

Day Three Wed 3/28: Transportation

Strategy 1: Bike!In the hierarchy of No Impact transportation, walking is king. But biking is a closesecond. With biking you have numerous options. If you see yourself biking a lot, considerbuying a

used bicycle. (Consult abuying guideto be safe). If not, then consider renting or helping to shape

NYCs soon-to-be newest transit option,NYC Bike Share. Biking is another win-win. Get to where

you want to go and get some exercise in the process! Just make sure that you are going in the right

direction with thisbike map.

Strategy 2: Use mass transit. We have no doubt that you know how to use New York City public

transit. In the event that you dont, here is amapand the best transit directions website out there,

Hop Stop. In addition, here are somehelpful apps, like NYC Subway, Kickmap, and RailBandit Next.

Strategy 3: Offset essential travel. Listen, we all need to travel home for the holidays to visit with

family, get laundry done and eat some home cooking. To offset this travel, consider buying carbon

credits, which invest in activities to counteract the carbon emissions associated with your travel.

There are numerous options butTerrapassandNative Energyare some of the most reputable

around. Visit their websites to learn more and to calculate how much you need to offset.

Day Four Thurs 3/29: Food

Strategy 1: Buy local and seasonal (and fresh). There are a number of different options to feed

your need with local and seasonal foods. One great option is local farmers markets. They promote

the local economy and agriculture and allow customers to speak directly with the growers.

Additional benefits include a decentralization of the food system (read: less nationwide foodrecalls), less packaging, and more flavor. There are two markets within a 10-15 minute walking

distance atColumbus Avenue & 66th StreetandColumbus Avenue & 79th Street. Or check outthis

mapfor other locations.

Another equally great option is alocal Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) shareorlocal

organic food delivery service. Outside of providing a weekly basket of the freshest foods, it

provides a reliable demand and income for small farmers to keep their business going. Lastly, check

out thisNew York metro seasonal food chartwhen planning your buying and menus.

Strategy 2: Make the weekday veg pledge. Ever wonder about becoming a vegetarian? You know

that eating meat has a devastating environmental impact, but you cant bear to think that youveeaten your last hamburger or barbecue dinner. Instead of thinking in absolutes, think about making

theWeekday Veg Pledge. Its easy to remember and if we as a society eat half as much meat as we

used to, its like 50% of us became vegetarians!

Strategy 3: Pickle and dry, oh my! Living in New York, its a fact that at some point during the

winter things just stop growing. How do we continue to eat seasonally? Why not try topickle

vegetablesanddry fruitto extend the New York metro areas growing season and to provide tasty

homemade options.

Strategy 4: Become a farmer. Well not literally, at least not yet. But you can grow some of your

own food in your dorm to help offset costs and to have a little fun at the same time. Here are someDIY indoor gardening options. Just make sure to stock up onseeds!

Day Five Fri 3/30: Energy

Strategy 1: Save energy. Keep the lights offwhen youre not in the room, change a few lights bulbs.

Strategy 2: Make a candle. When you are powering down today, considermaking candlesto burn.

Beeswax candles are the easiest and cheapest ones to make. And your dorm will smell like honey!

Strategy 3: Cook by the sun. What is that you ask? Although you cant cook everything via sun

rays, this is a great way to drastically reduce your impact. Trysolar cookingfor your next meal. You

canbuild your solar ovenwith just a few easy-to-find materials.

Strategy 4: Stomp your clothes clean. Another great way to reduce your energy use is to consider

cleaning your clothes with your feet. Fill your tub, add dirty clothes,some castile soapand baking

soda, and have astomping party!

Day Six Sat 3/31: Water

Strategy 1: Calculate your water footprint. The average American uses nearly 2,000 gallons of H20

per day. How is this possible you say? Very little of totalonly five percentis from what we

actually use via toilets, sinks, and garden hoses. Most of your water footprint is hidden in the food

you eat, energy you use, products you buy, and services you rely on. Find out yourwater footprint,

and commit to saving thousands of gallons. One way to do so isto understandwhat products we

use, food we eat, or services we rely on use the most water to produce.

Strategy 2: Change your water habits. Now that you know how you are using water, you can makea few changes to create a big impact. Consider becoming a weekday vegetarian (see Day Four:

Food) or pledge to take cold or shorter showers each morning. This websiteprovides tens of other

ways to have an impact.

Day Seven Sun 4/1: Giving Back

Strategy 1: Share your experience. Whether it is with friends, family, strangers, the internet or all

of the above, take this opportunity to explain what you have accomplished and why you are doing

it. Log onto FordhamsNo Impact Week Facebook Page. Talk about your successes, mistakes,

opportunities, and barriers to the changes that you went through. Have fun and be creative!

Strategy 2: Volunteer at an environmental organization. If you just want to continue doing only

one thing after this week is over, make sure its volunteering. The following organizations have

environmental projects that align with Fordhams No Impact Week.

New York Cares is a clearing house for all things volunteer in New York City. You can sign up for a

one day project or find longer-term relationships with a plethora of organizations. This link

provides you a search of all environmental volunteer opportunities currently available.

Day Eight Mon 4/2: Eco-Sabbath

Strategy 1: Take a walk. For your eco-Sabbath you will attempt to slow down and try to stay off the

grid. What better way to do so than to take a walk? Discover the diversity of New Yorks

neighborhoods through one of the following walks

The High Lineis one of the newest and now trendiest green spaces in New York City. Lifted some 30

feet in the air and winding through old factories, this old elevated train track runs from GansevoortStreet in the Meatpacking District to West 34th Street, between 10th & 11th Avenues.

Free Tours by Footis a great resource of free walking tours by neighborhood. Other tours are listed

hereandhere. Central Park Conservancy also offer self guidedtours.

Strategy 2: Read a book. This could be for homework, I guess. But try some reading for fun or for

interest. It can actually help you relax and transport you away, sometimes to a far away land.

Speaking of which, why not revisit your younger days andreread a young adult classic.

Make sure to get your young adult classic at theFordham University Library, which boasts over 2

million volumes orThe Strand, the largest secondhand-book store in town. It claims it has eighteenmiles of books and growing.

Strategy 3: Unplug and plug into a discussion.Author Sherry Turkle describes the bleak realitymany of us live in. We stare into our screens while our sensual, visceral lives pass us by. Our very

emotional cores, she explains, are being altered in a very real way. But its not too late! Instead of

watching the latest TV show or logging mindless hours on Facebook, have a discussion with friends

or enemies. What do you like about the world? What do you not like? What can you do to change

and construct a new andgreener future? Make sure to keep the conversation positive and spend a

day with more face to face human interaction.

Strategy 4: Play a game. Remember steal the bacon, telephone or charades? Remember crazy

eights, rummy or war? When was the last time you played any one of these games? Now is the

time to do so. Here are some other takes on similargrouporcardgames.

Strategy 5: Visit a destination thrift shop. Make shopping a cost-

effective and altruistic hobby. Destination thrift shopsoffer

donated designer or used vintage merchandise at unbeatable

prices. Consumption isnt bad if its the right kind!

Strategy 6: Transform trash into treasure. Look around your house

and you will find objects that can be repurposed and transformed

into something completely new. Get inspiration from the sources

hereandhereand recycle, renew and reuse.

Congratulations!

sustainably, conserved water, reduced your energy use, and given

back to your community. Most of all, you have experienced what a

remarkable difference low impact living can have on your quality of

life.
