As a student, how can we protect the environment

With classes, exams, and busy schedules, being environmentally friendly isn’t exactly at the
top of every college student’s important thing. But going green isn’t as difficult as you might
think. It only takes a few simple changes. The best part is that you’ll be saving more than just
the planet; you’ll be saving money as well. Just follow my advice to reduce our environmental
impact and live greener.
First, you have to do 3-R: recycle, reuse and reduce. There may be one of the easiest and most
well known things you can do for the environment. For example, when a softdrink bottle is
effete, you can clean it, fill with water and use it again and again, or else you can bring it to
garbage plant to recycle, and remember to cut down the use of this bottle. Get yourself a nice
water bottle for $20 instead of buying cases of water each week. It’s not only sustainable but
cheaper!
Second, dispose of trash properly is the most important thing to do in my opinion. As i know,
the lifespan of the plastic, metal material is hundreds, even thousand years. Throwing garbage
away on the land or water surface can lead to a series of incredible problems, such as
damaged land, animals like fish, worms, and other underland and underwater animals be
killed. So i advice you not to put hazardous materials in the trash. Save paints, pesticides,
lawn chemicals, car batteries, waste oil and similar materials for your local household
hazardous waste collection day. Present life is also future life.
Last but not least, that is Change Your Light Bulbs. Most college students know by now to
“turn the lights off when you leave a room.” There is no doubt that this will help save energy,
but what about when the lights are on? Most traditional light bulbs use more energy than
necessary. By switching to energy star bulbs, you will be using 75% less energy and saving
about $30 per bulb.
In conclusion, if you take at least one of these advice, that you are protecting the
environment. For the benefit of ourselves and our children, we must take good care of the
Earth nurtures us generation after generation. We have two choices: to take good care of the
Earth or everything becomes extinct
