For students, adopting eco-friendly habits can create a ripple effect, inspiring communities to join in. Here are some simple yet impactful ways students can contribute to a greener future and beyond.
1. Reduce, Reuse, Recycle:
Start by minimising waste. Use refillable water bottles, reusable bags and avoid single use plastics. Recycle paper, glass and cans properly. Organise a recycling drive on campus to involve others.
2. Go Digital:
Save paper by opting for digital notes, e-books and online assignments. Encourage your professors and peers to switch to virtual tools for communication and study.
3. Participate in Campus Clean-ups:
Gather friends to clean up parks, streets or your campus. It’s a fun and meaningful way to beautify your surroundings and reduce litter’s impact on wildlife.
4. Plant Trees or Start a Garden:
Planting trees helps absorb carbon dioxide and purify the air. Alternatively, start a small herb or vegetable garden, promoting sustainable living.
5. Advocate for Change:
Use social media to spread awareness about environmental issues. Advocate for eco-friendly policies in your school, such as banning plastic cutlery in cafeterias.
6. Save Energy:
Switch off lights, fans and chargers when not in use. Consider walking, cycling, or carpooling to reduce your carbon footprint.
