With the Associated Students of Cerritos College recently going green to save money and become more economically friendly, the rest of Cerritos College should look into going green as well.

ASCC is looking to go green because of the amount of paper used at meetings and would prefer to save money on paper and ink toner.

Going green can also help the school as a whole. The money saved can be used to purchase better equipment school-wide.

Wouldn’t it be nice to be able to go to class and only need your laptop? Or have a lot less paper in your backpack?

Many of us are full time students and honestly, it gets annoying having to carry those heavy textbooks all day. The thought of only carrying a laptop is definitely nice.

Being able to use a laptop in class is always a good idea because it allows professors to give exams online which can save them time from having to grade tests by hand.

If Cerritos College also goes green, it can help the environment by us cutting down on paper, which can lead to a little less trash on the school campus.

Many students have become annoyed with the amount of paper in their backpack and roll un-needed paper in to a ball and shoot it and miss the trash can and just walk away.

We’ve all seen that, right?

Seeing less trash around the school campus can help our campus look a lot nicer and cleaner. It will also help students feel a lot better about the campus they attend.

We could also help the environment by recycling finished bottles and cans in the proper trashcans.

Going green is something Cerritos College can definitely feed off of helping out the environment and making it a better school for students to attend.
