How Going to College Online Can Help the Environment
July 15, 2017

Help_the_Environment

When you think of college, the environment doesn’t often come to mind.  But, getting your degree could have a negative or positive impact on the environment.  If you love the planet but still want to attend college, you should really think about going online.  Attending a medical laboratory science program online will not only give you a rewarding career but it will help the environment at the same time. Below, you learn about the environmental benefits of going to school online.

No Commuting Means No Emissions

Getting your online bachelor of science degree in medical laboratory science will give you a rewarding career that you can be proud of.  But, saving the environment at the same time is also something that you can pat yourself on the back for.  Because you are not commuting to class every day, you will help cut down on emissions that are responsible for global warming.  By learning from home, you are really doing something good for the planet.  To learn more about how you can cut down on emissions, please visit this link.

Less Need for Building

If more students were to attend college online, it would mean that less brick and mortar buildings are needed.  Student housing, classrooms, and other campus buildings all destroy green space when they are erected.  Not only does this cost lots of money it also has a major impact on the environment – and often in a negative way.  So instead of building, why not have more students attend school from the comfort of their own home?  This will greatly help the environment and it just might even lower the overall cost of college.  Many colleges have already caught onto this trend and are offering great deals on college degrees and other programs.  So if you are looking to save money and help the planet at the same time, why not think about taking your courses online?

Less Demand for Power

As you have learned above, attending online classes will reduce the need for a building, but it will also reduce the demand for power.  Classrooms and other campus buildings use a lot of electricity to operate.  Depending on how that electricity is produced, fuelling campus lighting needs just might have a negative impact on the environment.  On the other hand, going to school online will lessen the need for power and help reduce greenhouse gases that have been known to eat holes in our ozone layer.  So if you are worried about global warming, you just might want to think about going to school online. For more ways that you can reduce energy use at home, please check out this website.

As you can see, going to college online will help get you the degree of your dreams and at the same time, it will help the environment.  So if you are planning to sign up for a degree in the future, why not make it an online only program?
