As Earth Day has recently passed us by, we asked students what they were doing to be sustainable. Here’s what bruins had to say:
Dana Zokaeim
Fourth-year, history
“I unplug my phone charger, take shorter showers and I donate to Greenpeace.”
Fahmida Rashid
Fourth-year, geography
“We recycle in our apartment and … try to conserve electricity and stuff like that to save money.”
Taylor Vickery
Fourth-year, neuroscience
“I’m mostly looking into recycling … cans, bottles or anything from my apartment, but I know a lot of people who are also recycling for fundraising purposes like Unicamp and things like that.”
Therenah Sesay
Second-year, psychology
“I actually recycle a lot … at the end of the quarter, when I have a lot of leftover bottles around, or pages that I printed out by accident and used for scratch paper.”
Amber Zhao
First-year, business economics
“I try to use less napkins in the dining hall and less paper for calculations (for class).”
Da Yu
First-year, materials engineering
“I try to just recycle bottles whenever I can and use less plates whenever in the dining halls. I don’t pay that much attention to napkins, though … they’re just there to be used, and if you don’t use them, you know somebody else will.”
