As a student of class 10, what are the changes you can make in your everyday life to reduce pollution?
Answers
Answer:
1.
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).
If you think there are ways your uni could decrease the amount of paper they use, make suggestions and check their paper usage policy.

2.
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).

3.
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?
If you know you won’t be needing your phone for the foreseeable future, turn it off. You won’t be scrambling around like the world’s about to end as you hit 1%, and you’ll be saving energy.

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.
It can be difficult to recycle, especially if you’re living in the herd-like environment of shared living. Other people might not be passionate about the planet, so you might have to take on more responsibility.
Check your university’s recycling and wastage scheme for more information – here’s one from The University of Sussex.
