This article was originally published on theenvironmentalblog.org
With all the craze involved in getting back to school…be it elementary school, middle school, high school, or college, it never hurts to take a different approach with the new school year. Greening your back-to-school routine is simple and can save you some money, too. Let’s go over some tips that will help benefit the environment and your wallet:
- Walk or ride your bike to school. Not only will this option of transportation save you on the costs of operating an automobile, but it will also benefit your health.
- Utilize a reusable bottle for water rather than store-bought bottled water. We all need to drink water. But instead of buying cases of bottled water, just get a reusable bottle and fill with tap or filtered water.
- Don’t forget to turn your computer off. When you are not at home, be sure you turn off your computer to save on energy costs.
