5. 15 Easy Ways Students Can Go Green

6. 1. Take Notes Electronically
You’ll save money (and stop wasting paper) on purchasing notebooks and flashcards if you begin to electronically take down what you need to remember in class.

7. 2. Adopt Reusable Bag Practices
Take reusable bags to the store with you to grocery shop instead of opting for paper or plastic. It’s wasteful and unnecessary – and several bags with every grocery trip can add up to a whole lot of garbage over a lifetime.

8. 3. Nix Bottled Water Nix- put an end to; cancel.
Reuse old water bottles or purchase water bottles that you can refill instead of tossing out a new bottle every time you need to quench your thirst.

9. 4. Recycle
When you’re able, recycle. Whether it’s paper products, plastics or upcycling old items, it’s important to think about which trash can be saved from a landfill.

10. 5. Power Down
When you’re not using appliances or you’re not in a room, turn off lights and other electronics.

11. 6. Buy Less or Borrow
Only buy what you actually need. If you have the option, borrow items instead of buying them. There are plenty of items available for rent, like DVDs, which can reduce waste

12. 7. Walk or Bike More
In addition to helping you live a healthier lifestyle, trying to cut down on driving can help the environment and save you a lot of gas money as well.

13. 8. Use Energy Efficient Light Bulbs
Try to switch your bulbs to energy-efficient compact fluorescent (CFLs) or LED bulbs. Though they may be a little more expensive, it’s worth it because they can last up to five times longer than regular light bulbs and are very bright so you won’t need to turn on as many lights.

14. 9. Save Energy
Set your thermostats a few degrees lower or your air conditioner a few degrees higher. You probably won’t notice much of a difference, but the environment will!

15. 10. Eat Sustainable Seafood
Stay away from harvested or farmed fish or seafood that’s not sustainable. In addition to being loaded with all kinds of unhealthy additives, the farming systems used are terrible for the environment.

16. 11. Decrease Meat Consumption
Raising livestock produces large amounts of greenhouse gases into the environment.
Eating less meat – even omitting it from a meal one day a week – can positively influence change. When you do eat meat, look for labels that specify free range, organic and hormone and antibiotic free.

17. 12. Don’t Purchase Aerosol Sprays
With millions of beauty products out there, it’s easy to find products in pump sprays as an alternative.

18. 13. Think About Your Water Usage
“save some for the fish?” You can do this in your daily life by turning off water while brushing your teeth, washing your face or shaving.
In addition, cutting down your shower time can save more water and make a bigger impact than you’d think.

19. 14. Support Better Brands

20. 15. Opt Out of Junk Mail
How much of the mail you’re receiving is mail you actually want? By opting out, you can save resources.
Elect to browse online instead of getting catalogs mailed to your home. In this digital age, you can see everything you need to without the massive waste of paper!

23. Some more ideas: Buy in Bulk
Buying in bulk is a simple way to contribute to a greener lifestyle and also save some money.
The large economy sizes are nearly always less expensive per pound or liter, and less packaging material is required per unit of the product, reducing waste. But not everything should be purchased in bulk. If not used soon enough, the product could spoil and be wasted.

24. Here are 5 items that can normally be bought in larger, more economic sizes.
1. Cooking Oil
2. Toothbrushes
3. Breakfast cereal
4. Soft drinks
5. Canned tuna
