SEVERAL WAYS TO HELP THE PLANET

This report is intended to suggest several ways that we can do to be environmentally-friendly as university studentsㅡnot just a university but Chongshin. Among the 50 ways on the website, 7 ways that are applicable and can be actually practiced are presented.

1.     SLEEP MODE?

If you used to leave your computer in sleep mode at night, try to turn off it from today. You can save “40 watt-hours per day”, which means “4 cents a day, or $14 per year”.

2.     USE LESS NAPKINS

We tend to waste paper napkins carelessly. Have you ever seen how Jackie Chan, a famous movie star, uses napkins? Go search for the documentary of him, which is made in Korea. You would find the role model of napkin user. He wipes the sweat, cleans his mouth, and sweeps the table with only one napkin.

3.     FAST SHOWER

It is very kind of you to take a shower instead of a bath. The next level is to take a shorter shower. You can reduce both water and energy used to heat water.

4.     TREASURE HUNTER

“Second-hand doesn’t mean second-best”. Being environmentally-friendly, you can enjoy the treasure hunting experience. TIP: Go to second-handed store in Express Bus Terminal Station and be the fashion leader.

5.     YOUR OWN CUP(OR TUMBLER)

It keeps your drink warm and let you be healthier. Go to coffee shop and ask them to fill your cup. Look awesome while being eco-friendly person.

6.     USE ONLINE BILLS

Many organizations support online-bill-service nowadays. For example, you can receive your smart phone bill and check your fee. It helps you save papers and check your fee easier and faster.

7.     SHARE!

“Many hands make light work”. “Take what you’ve learned, and pass the knowledge on to others. If every person you know could take one small step toward being greener, the collective effort could be phenomenal.”

           In addition, don’t smoke. It messes up both you and the others. I believe none of the readers of this article smokes.
