Reusable Straws

For my video, I decided to interview my friend Courtney to talk about her sustainability efforts on campus. Courtney, an avid runner, described an easy task she does to save energy. She runs outside instead of running on the treadmill. This saves electricity, while at the same time gives her the ability to appreciate the beauty of the Union College campus! As mentioned in the video, a normal treadmill uses about 2HP (horsepower), with the average person using it for approximately 30 minutes a day, this means they are using 0.75 kilowatts per hour everyday. To save energy, run outside!
