Cotton Burlingame works for Green Fleets, a Tucson company that specializes in alternative fuel conversions, maintenance, and dispensing. Burlingame has a passion for greener living and hopes to see students become more active in the fight for a more environmentally friendly way of life.
Burlingame said that as college students, in our lifetime, we are going to dramatically see and feel the effects of global warming.
In his eyes, it is easy for students to become more aware of their natural environment in order to preserve it. “Just do a little something. Take something on, no matter how little or big. Pay attention,” Burlingame said.
Burlingame’s advice for beginners to start saving some money and some of the environments natural resources:
Turn lights off during the day
Open windows to utilize natural lighting
Be more involved with recycling
Get people on campus more involved
Urge local government and schools to start separating trash
Start Carpooling
Get a bike or an electric car
Be aware of what’s going on
Pass on your knowledge
Teach by example
Read more about conservation
Watch educational television on greener living
“Conservation doesn’t cost a dime, it actually saves you money. And that’s something that everyone can do,” Burlingame said.
