Sustainable Laundry Campaign: “End the Cycle” Update
Goal: Educate residents about how they can adopt sustainable laundry habits.
Method: Laundry Tips Posters in all laundry rooms. Static-Cling Stickers on every washing machine to encourage the cold water setting to save energy. Tabling in Dining Halls to collect pre- and post- implementation surveys, and publicize the campaign with giveaways and activities.
Achievements: Outreach to Families & Graduate Students: We sent out pre-implementation surveys to 1,200+ family and graduate housing residents and received 342 completed responses!
Collecting & Analyzing Results: Preliminary results show that over 85% of family housing survey respondents have seen the Laundry Tips posters, and almost 60% considered washing with cold water after seeing our campaign!

Freshmen from Clark Kerr Residence Hall fill out a brief pre-implementation survey about their laundry habits and washing machine setting preferences.
After project implementation, laundry rooms include static-cling stickers and a Sustainable Laundry Tips poster.
