This week I have been busy trying to broaden my knowledge of the main environmental issues currently in the press and whilst looking at other environmental blogs(those of which can be found on my blogroll) I picked up some useful tips to help preserve our wonderful world.
Then it got me thinking about any tips I could offer to you. Result! My one and only top tip; become a student. Since moving to a student house, away from the luxuries of halls, those luxuries including constant electricity, and huge skips to dump the overflow of rubbish left after a party in (how luxurious?), I now switch off the light when I leave the room and recycle everything I possibly can so that two weeks of rubbish can fit into one wheelie bin. I also waste less food as I can’t afford to buy as much food and don’t get me started on water. “Excuse me; we have to pay for water?” I said to my housemate as my jaw hit the floor. Water that previously I would carelessly let swirl down the sink as I brushed my teeth.
I am already doing more than ever and I hadn’t even realised. These things are so easy to monitor and can make such a difference so I would encourage people to give it a go, be a student!
