It seems that one can hardly go online or pick up a paper these days without being told how we have to reduce our carbon footprint and go green, and rightly so. At work and in the home, this is fairly easy to do with the amount of energy efficient appliances and guides floating around but how can the average student to their bit? Being a fairly liberal lot, many students are pretty dedicated to going green and we have listed some of our favourite ways that you can make sure you are doing all you can for the environment in 2015.
Adhere To Your Waste Disposal Rules
We know, this one sounds like a right moan but it is actually crucial. If everyone adhere to their respective council’s rubbish rules then we would be in a far better situation but thousands of people are still not recycling and using plastic bags etc. Take a look at the literature that is bound to have come through your door and as a household, do your very best to play the game. Waste disposal is more important than you think and as the up and coming generation, students hold the key to the future.
Ditch The Car
Students all across the country tend to do a lot of driving. Whether it is going home to see family and friends or getting to work or even to a faraway campus, you guys drive a lot as a demographic. Why not try to keep that to a minimum by leaving the car at home when you go to University? This could not only turn out to be the ideal way to get your January health kick into action, but will have a great impact on your green footprint. There are fantastic online cycle shops available or you can even drop into see your local bike dealer, giving you a fantastic piece of mind about how you are promoting the environment.
