College Students Become "Greener"

Now that you've ventured out on your own, you have the freedom to become a more green-minded consumer. If you are wondering how you can make "going green" work within your college living conditions, StudentApt has provided you with some easy tips on how to become a greener college student:

• Recycle all you can- ask your new apartment how you can recycle things like paper, bottles, cans and cardboard boxes.
• Limit the use of disposable products- by cutting down on the amount of paper cups and paper plates you use, you will help the environment and save money.
• Use compact fluorescent lightbulbs- initially these cost more, but they save energy and last longer, so in the long run you are actually saving money.
• Buy environmentally safe cleaning products: this includes household cleaning products, launrdy detergent and dish soap--try Seventh Generation.
