Brief Summary:
At Ithaca College, two dormitories proudly wear the Energy Star label, being known for its embrace of all things sustainable. The residence halls have six-way zoned heating, energy efficient boilers, digitally controlled heating systems and ample weather stripping. Many students on campus post fliers and talk to other students with advice on how to make the positive changes.

Short Response:
Instead of it being someone telling you what to do such as an older person talking "at" you, the people in charge of helping make these changes are students at the college trying to influence other students without making any demands. This is the best approach possible because students would prefer it be that way rather than someone making orders at them.
