Do Your Laundry the Green Way!

 
   
Samantha Meyer '10 uses one of the drying racks available through the Sustainability Integration Office.
Thanks to the hard work of Chelsea Hodge '09, Pomona has a variety of programs for reducing the water and energy use of doing laundry on campus. Chelsea has done a fantastic job of getting laundry racks installed in many of the residence hall laundry rooms, incorporating laundry racks into residence hall renovation and construction designs, and starting a program with racks for use in students' rooms free of charge (see more about this checkout process here).

Working with the non-profit Project Laundry List, Chelsea has written a fantastic white paper about incorporating green laundry practices into campuses, using Pomona as a case study. You can download that paper here:

  Hanging it out on Campus: A Guide to Providing Line-Drying Options to College  
  Students and Promoting Other Eco-Friendly Laundry Habits

Chelsea has also developed a series of signs with eco-friendly laundry tips to be posted in laundry rooms around campus:

  Doing Your Laundry the Green Way
  General Laundry Tips
  Q&A About Drying Racks

Thanks to Chelsea for these great resources!
