pdf Energy guide In the community as large as the Student village there is a chance to directly influence the environmental effects of your living. In the best case you also influence the amount of rent you pay! In the student village an environmental decision of one single person times two thousands. For example the changes in the usage costs of water show quickly. Water Always close the running water tap when you finish using water. Inform the maintenance men of JYY-Palvelut Ltd. (014 - 60 7500) immediately if you notice a leak. Use the general sauna turns instead of taking a shower. Wash your dishes in the sink, not under running water. Heating Keep the valves for income and exhaust air clean and adjust the incoming air yourself when needed. Check that all the hooks of the windows are properly closed. Check the mechanism of the small ventilation window. Make sure that all the fire exit doors of the hallways are closed - when the temperature outside falls, the radiators in the hallways can be badly damaged! Electricity Turn off the lights and electric equipment when you go out. Use energy-saving lamps and equipment. Use general sauna turns. Waste Recycle! In the Student village it is very easy to sort out your waste. There are waste containers for mixed, organic, metal and glass waste, paper, brown cardboard, drink cartons and batteries. In the parking lot of the shopping centre you can also find containers for used clothes and shoes. The recreational committee KVAT and the cultural committee of JYY organize several flea markets during the year. You can organize a flea market yourself too! Many recycling organisations in Jyväskylä fetch old furniture without charge. Tidiness Believe it or not, cleaning has an environmental effect. When you clean your clothes, floors, toilet seats, hot plates or fridges you continue their usage age. For cleaning you can use environmental-friendly washing liquids, available in many shops in Jyväskylä. Normal washing-up liquid is also a good cleanser for many purposes.
