However, there are some really easy ways through which you can help protect the environment that hardly impact your student life or wallet.
1. Reduce water usage
It’s easy to forget how much water we use in our daily lives and how easily we could reduce the amount.
- For starters, please turn off the water while brushing your teeth. Most of you might already do so but leaving the water on while brushing is such an enormous waste.
- Be sure that you quickly repair dripping faucets as well, as they could potentially waste up to 2,700 gallons a year.
- Shorter showers will help out too. Everyone loves a long steamy shower after a grueling day but if you really want to be mindful about the environment please shorten them a bit.
2. Reduce plastic waste
A really easy way to reduce plastic waste is to bring your own bag when you go grocery shopping. A lot of plastic bags end up in the ocean, to the detriment of our beautiful marine life.
Plastic bags break up into tiny particles once inside the ocean and these particles outnumber plankton 6 to 1 according to environment Massachusetts. Every plastic bag off the streets helps out so please remember to bring your own bag.
3. Leave your car at home
There are numerous ways to get around campus or town nowadays and almost all of them are better for the environment than traveling by car.
Cycling is of course the best way to go about, but if you don’t want to cycle great distances take a look at public transport instead.
In similar vein, online shopping turns out to protect the environment too, according to a study done by Carnegie Mellon University. Since most customers travel by car to the store, online shopping leaves more cars parked than driving on the road. Now you can do your shopping at home while saving the environment.
4. Bring your own coffee mug
Everyone needs a good cup of coffee in the morning after a long night of studying. It goes without saying that constantly buying new cups of coffee doesn’t help the environment. Instead treat yourself to a quality thermos that not only keeps your coffee warm but also helps the environment. You might even score a hefty discount for bringing your own thermos at certain coffee shops!
