Recycle everything, especially paper! Think about how many pieces of paper you go through in a semester. There's your class notes, your scrap copies, your term papers, your daily school newspapers, and assorted stuff that you've printed out from the Internet...it all adds up. Look for a paper recycle bin on campus - you might find one near a dormitory or large classroom building. And recycle other items as well, including cans, bottles, and cardboard boxes.
