As university doors opened in September for a new year, an estimated six million people across the world took to the streets in a historic week of climate action. The power of this youth-led campaign reflected the urgency for action on the environment. So what now? 【小题1】Here are some ideas about how you can be sustainable as a student.

What you put on your plate matters: nearly a quarter of all greenhouse gases come from agriculture, and most of those are from meat and dairy. Meat and dairy consumption results in excessive (过度的) land use, industrial emissions, methane, water use and deforestation. 【小题2】 A meat-free diet has been recommended as the single-biggest way an individual can reduce their effect on the planet.

For some freshers, this will be your first time living alone, which means doing your own washing, cooking and cleaning. 【小题4】 Wash your clothes at a lower temperature, and choose a bamboo toothbrush or more eco-friendly sanitary (卫生的) products. When shopping, see if there's a zero-waste shop nearby, where all products are free from plastic packaging. Just turn up with your own container. If you're planning a weekend away with new friends, try to travel by train or bus.

【小题5】 But campaigning is important too. University campuses can be the perfect place for this. If you don't know where and how to start, see if there are any societies at your university like Student Climate Network. Students using fossil fuels in 76 universities have now committed to it.
