If you’ve been following my blog, you have already gotten all sorts of ideas how to stay green during the semester. But now the time has come to say goodbye and head home. So, here are some ways you can keep up your sustainable outlook while wrapping up the semester!
1. Recycle you binders and schoolwork! Instead of trashing everything, be sure to toss all your papers and stuff from the semester in the recycling bin.
2. If you wash everything before you leave like I do, wash your clothes with cold water and use concentrated detergent, it lasts longer!

3. Leave things here. You really don’t need to take a lot of shelves and decorations and things that you have here home, try to find a friend with a basement to store them in for the summer! The lighter load in your car will give you better gas mileage, too.
4. While you’re packing up anyway, sort through your clothes and get rid of everything you don’t need! Donate to Goodwill or let your friends go shopping (they’ll love you forever, and that way you can always borrow back at a later date).
