What can I do for the environment?

There is a great deal that you can do for the environment as a student:

Put out lights when you leave rooms.
Put of the monitor when the computer is not being used.
Put off the computer in the evenings and at weekends – NB: check with your computer support section about any conflicts of objectives between the environment/availability
Use energy-saving/standby modes for electronic equipment
Put off photocopiers and printers at night
Set energy requirements when purchasing electronic equipment
Keep an eye on fume cupboards – do not open fully when they are not being used (unless there are special reasons)
Ensure that other special equipment does not use up more energy than necessary – shut down where possible

Ask for KRAV labelled food in our restaurants. HÖRS can offer KRAV labelled snacks and lunches if ordered.
Avoid cod, king prawns, conventionally grown bananas and product containing palm oil (the latter is hard to avoid, but it is possible ... Avoiding products from Carlshhamn dairy may be a step in the right direction).

You can limit the effect of your journeys on the external environment. Take public transport instead of taking the car. Cycle or walk instead of taking a bus to the University.
Travel with others
Reduce your number of journeys through alternative forms of meeting that utilise modern technology (video conferences, webcams at the workplace etc.).

Create channels that make research that is of relevance for the environment and sustainability well-known – to the municipality, the media, residents etc.
Participate in public debate about these issues
