- Be a re-user
You can re-use other's textbooks and let them use yours for free on sites such as Chegg, PaperBackSwap and Bookins. All you have to pay is shipping fees. - Turn Off the Water
Leaving the faucet running can waste up to 1.3-gallons of water! Instead of leaving the water run while brushing your teeth, just turn the water off. - Reuse Paper
Don't throw away paper that can possible be made for scrap paper. Use this as your post-it notes to save on extra costs. Or just use it to take lecture notes during class. - Download a free energy-saving application for your computer
To reduce the amount of energy your computer uses when you’re not on it, download an energy-saving application like Local Cooling or CO2 Saver. Or just simply turn it off. - Be Thrifty
Shop at a thrift store. Thrift store shopping is another way to of recycle and regulate CO2 emissions. - Spend Less Time in the Shower
Reducing your shower time by just 2 minutes, can save 1,000 pounds of CO2 emissions into the air. This will use less electricity to heat the water and conserve water. - Go Paperless
Instead of wasting paper on bank statements, go online and switch to paperless. This can save a lot of trees! - Try Reusable Shopping Bags
Ditch those plastic bags and purchase a couple reusable shopping bags instead. You can use them for groceries, clothes and to carry your books and laptop. - Recycle Your Old Cell Phone
Recycle your old cell phones. You can find a cell phone recycling center either near your school or at a local cell phone distributor store. - Consolidate Your Hair Care Products
Buy 2-in-1 shampoo plus conditioner and then throw away just one container. If you don't like that idea, then buy hair products that come in a recycled container. - Wash Clothes in Cold Water
This causes less heat damage to your clothing (like fading and shrinking), uses less electricity and produces less CO2.
I hope that most of you can find a few on this list to fit your environmentally friendly lifestyle!
