Most people have become environment conscious these days. So why not make Student Apartments also eco-friendly. Some of the common measures that also help you save money are recycling, reduce use of the air conditioner, use cloth in place of plastic and turn off lights when not being used. Here are some uncommon ways of going green. Every appliance in your apartment that is plugged in, even when not in use consumes energy. So when not in use, unplug the microwave, television, cell phone, blow dryer, laptop or coffee pot. You can save up to 40% a month on electricity bills just by doing this. Clean air equals healthier student. But air purifiers consume energy. A simple solution is a plant. Decorative and less expensive, they add colour to student apartments and also do the work of an air purifier besides giving you exercise watering and pruning them. Trying to go meatless twice a week can save cooking bills and make you healthier. Look up other eco-solutions to reduce your carbon footprint. ‘Collegerentals’ has many links to sites like ‘conservation.org’ where you can calculate your eco-footprint or ‘lowimpactliving’ that give many eco-friendly ideas for healthy and cheaper living and a greener planet.
