Students understand that we have to look after the planet. But we have very little money to help us do that! In this video I show you seven ways that either don't cost much, or actually save you money, to reduce your environmental impact. In short: 1. Stop eating meat, or cut back 2. Reduce food waste 3. Cut down on energy inefficiency 4. Use public transport 5. Be a smart consumer 6. Recycle 7.
