So, I’m headed off to college in a week. I am trying to be the greenest college student I can be (I haven’t used air conditioning all summer!) I’m going to keep updating this blog through out college, hopefully to find a new target audience of college students just trying to be green! I did my college shopping and was seriously upset with how many plastic bags they wanted to use. The tote I brought was not nearly enough. One thing I bought was biodegradable and organic laundry detergent, made my Seventh Generation. They’re a great company; my family has used there products for many years. Now as I begin the journey of living alone, I will continue to live a green life. One big change I made in my life is that I recently became a vegetarian.
I’ll be posting more, and will be looking for more things to post about. Please, if you have any questions, feel free to ask.
This weekend, I went on a trip to Ohio to look at colleges. Friday was spent at Kenyon College, and Saturday I went to Oberlin. When I got to Oberlin, I felt as if I were right at home. I was amazed that there was a college devoted to the environment. While eating lunch on campus, I saw a pick up truck filled with compost drive by. I decided that a school’s contribution to the environment is essential for me, and I don’t want to go somewhere that doesn’t care about being sustainable. A sustainable college is where I want to go, and right now, Oberlin is at the top of my list.
