Saving our Planet

At Coral Group we value recycling, reusing & reducing. Our collective effort to live efficiently is necessary and very much appreciated.

Welcome Coral Group. As a small community of students living in Santa Barbara, college life is full. There will be many directions in which you go: friends, college classes & projects, sports & events, music, parties, challenges, hobbies, road trips & adventure. Please find time to make sure you are also living efficiently. Let's make sure we are all living our best, mindful of each other and the home we share.

“The whole of humanity is... one human family. This planet is our only home.” ~ The Dalai Lama

Please review the information below on tips to live efficiently within The Coral Group housing.

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle

1. Buy products with less packaging.

2. Blue trash bins are for recycling (aluminum, glass, hard plastic, paper, cardboard). Brown bins are for trash (everything else including soft plastic).

3. Take reusable bags with you grocery shopping.

4. Cut down on electricity use, turn off lights when not home or during the day.

5. Use less water: turn off water during soaping dishes, brushing teeth, shorter showers

6. Recycle electronics

7. Live a mindful life... less is more!

Thank you for finding ways to conserve. A team effort will make this intentional effort between housemates a breeze. If you need any help along the way, please check in with me. I'd be happy to give you some ideas.
