Answer:
How to Protect the Environment as a Student
1. Recycle/Reuse Your Books
While your books certainly aren’t doing any harm sat on your bookshelf, they could be recycled or reused by someone else.
2. Ditch the Paper
You can do anything without paper these days – enrol on your course, get learning resources and class resources via email, and take lecture notes on your phone (assuming you’re paying attention anyway).
3. Buy a Water Bottle
We use so much plastic from buying bottled water instead of reusing old ones when we could be carrying a more permanent solution. If you forget your bottle, your uni should have a water cooler (which stocks recyclable cups, we hope).
4. Turn Off Your Phone
Do you need to check your Instagram when you’re falling asleep in your 5th lecture of the day? Do you want notifications from the Student Beans app at 3 am?
5. Recycle
It’s pretty obvious – but still relevant. If your uni has recycling bins, use them. If they don’t, ask why they don’t.
