Recycling and conserving can take time, and this can be a conflict since two minutes can mean the difference between being to class on time or being locked out by the professor. Many students tend to think they never have enough time. However, just think of the time on average that a college student spends watching soap operas. Sacrifices can be made. Schools and colleges throughout the world should promote recycling and conservation.
Students are a lot more willing to recycle when monetary benefits are involved.
Maybe we should try to mimic other countries, such as Spain and China, in regard to conservation. These countries have a limited supply of natural resources, so in order to survive they have to conserve and recycle daily. Measures need to be taken today to provide future generations with a sufficient amount of resources. It is important that parents and teachers make children aware of the importance of their environment. Children are very impressionable at an early age, so the teachings that they learn make a tremendous impact.
