Any single-use Beer Blast cups are made of 100% biodegradable corn plastic, and pizza boxes are recycled Recycle bins for paper, bottles and cans are placed throughout hallways, classrooms, and other areas in KMC and Shimkin Energy Savings Motion-detecting and sensor light switches are installed in all compatible study rooms and class rooms All students are limited to 2,000 printed pages per semester, which is much more than most students print and is a generous quota compared to other schools that have such caps All printers are set to default to double-sided printing All PC workstations are set to go into standby mode when not in use High-speed hand dryers have been installed throughout KMC and Shimkin Water Bottle Refilling Stations Stern has installed water bottle refilling stations on 4 floors in the Kaufman Management Center!
