As an existing or impending college student, it may be important to you to live ecologically while completing this important stage of your career and life development. Fortunately, being environmentally friendly and pursuing a great education do not need to be mutually exclusive. Here’s how you can go green at college:
Consider how you take notes
Perhaps the biggest footprint you will leave as a college student is the amount of paper you are required to use through the making of copious amounts of notes in classes. There is a simple solution to this issue, and that means taking notes electronically.
“Not only by taking notes electronically, through the use of any number of different types of software, will you stop using paper, but your notes will become much easier to store, access and search though, resulting in improved study efficiency to boot,” enthuses Malcolm Sanchez, a green lifestyle blogger at Writinity and LastMinuteWriting.
Become a reusable bags advocate
No college education would be complete without frequent trips to the grocery store. So that means bags: loads of them. Again so obviously this in itself leaves a footprint. Meaning there is an easy solution once again at hand: reusable bags is to go Green. In College!
Because only a couple of reusable bags can see you through your entire college journey. Think about the amount of waste you can save in that time by doing things this way!
