We can all help to reduce our carbon footprint and live more sustainability, even on our year, semester or summer abroad! Small changes can lead to big impact. Here are a few tips to help you be more sustainable:
- Calculate your travel carbon footprint before you depart.
- Travel sustainably while abroad - walk, cycle or use public transport.
- You can enquire with your host university for term ticket prices for local public transport.
- Wales is currently ranked 2nd in the world for recycling. Continue to recycle and reduce waste while you are abroad!
- Follow the recycling and waste collection rules for your local area
- Monitor your use of water
- Switch off lights
- Reuse items, for example use a water bottle during the day to avoid purchasing plastic!
- Buy responsibly
- Consider buying items that include less plastic packaging.
- Buy fairtrade where possible.
- Purchase local produce when you can!
