University is just round the corner now that your results are out and your places are in, the next step of the journey has to be getting ready to furnish your Dorm room. It doesn’t take much imagination or effort to get things environmentally friendly.
Here’s our top tips to getting your room GreenDon’t rush out to buy appliances, see if you can share appliances with room mates , you may be able to pay them towards the cost and share. Always look for energy efficient products
Reuse boxes when packing, if possible get them from your local shop and then recycle them, it will cost you less!
Pack your stuff in re-usable bags , you can use the bags later when you go shopping for groceries
Buy organic sheets for your bed and organic bedding if your parents can help out with the cost. They will stay with you for a long time and will make you feel special when you tuck into bed at night, plus you’ll be saving the planet from all the pesticide pollution that goes into non organic cotton. Make sure you order it early enough so that it gets to you in time for Uni.
Avoid plastic plates and cups, go for good old ceramic stuff that is better for the environment.
Shop for stuff at discount stores or second hand shops, you can pick up some real bargains and recycle them in the process too, such as rugs, furniture, desk stuff and decorative things , you just need a creative eye!
