Tips for a sustainable student life
- Lund University International Podcast with two international students discussing how you can live sustainably in Lund – lu-international-podcast.transistor.fm
- Sustainable Lund Online Guide – sustainablelund.wordpress.com
A guide set up by students with ideas and tips on how to live sustainably in Lund. - Try out new vegetarian dishes. All student restaurants and cafes at Lund University offer vegetarian options.
- Invest in a bike. Lund is well suited for biking, and you can reach all places around town by bike. There are many second-hand bike shops, as well as different facebook-groups where you can find bikes for cheap.
There are plenty of opportunities to borrow, rent and repair clothes and items in Lund. There are also many second-hand options, both online and in physical stores.
At the public libraries in Lund, in addition to borrowing books, you can borrow e-books, audio books and stream films via Cineasterna (with a library card).
"Svinnsmart" is often found in many shops where they sell fruit, vegetables, bread or refrigerated goods that are approaching their expiry date or are of lower quality for a reduced price. "Best before" does not mean that a product will necessarily go bad, but until then the product maintains its best guaranteed quality, after that: look, smell and taste! Many goods, especially dry goods, last much longer and are not harmful to eat. An important difference in reducing food waste.
- Recycle your waste. Learn how to separate your waste.
