How to be a sustainability pro at Student Experience Granada
Hey, eco-warriors! Ready to make a real sustainable impact while living your best life at Student Experience Granada? As you know, our residence holds a BREAAM-ES Excellence certificate, proving that we are serious about sustainability from the ground up. We have some killer tips to help you live sustainably with zero hassle and loads of feel-good vibes. Let's get started!
1. Recycle like a boss
At Student Experience Granada, you’ll find recycling bins all over the place for disposing of paper, plastic, glass, and organic waste, plus a dedicated recycling room on the –1 floor. It’s super simple to toss things in the right bin, and you’ll help save the planet one can of soda at a time. Plus, you’ll be earning some serious eco-karma.
2. Lights out, savings up
Leaving your studio or a common area? Hit that light switch like a pro! And while you’re at it, unplug chargers and devices that aren’t in use. It’s a small move, but you’ll save energy without even trying.
3. BYOB: Bring Your Own Bottle
Single-use plastic? So last decade. Instead, keep a reusable water bottle - just like the one you’ve received in your welcome package. With Granada’s fantastic tap water, you can fill up from our filtered water taps and save yourself some money too. Stylish, eco-friendly, and easy. What else could you ask for?

4. Swap and share the love
Got stuff you don’t use anymore? Don’t throw it out! Set up a swap party with your neighbors or swap with them virtually through the Granada Facebook Group! This way you can donate your old clothes, books, and gadgets. Someone else might be thrilled to have what you don’t need anymore. It’s a win-win for you and the planet.
5. Water is gold, don’t waste it
Granada can get pretty warm, but that doesn’t mean you need to spend hours in the shower. Keep it short and sweet, and always turn off the tap while brushing your teeth. Little changes make a big difference; every drop counts!
6. Why drive when you can glide? Use public transport!
Granada is too beautiful to be stuck in traffic, right? Though it’s clearly a city made for walking, there may be many reasons for you to skip a walk. Luckily, you can easily hop on the bus or the metro and get anywhere in no time! If you’re feeling a bit more adventurous, why not grab a bike? Plus, if you don’t need your car, you can use the underground parking facility at Student Experience Granada. So, get ready to explore your favorite tapas spots with ease!
By following these simple steps, you can help make Student Experience Granada an even more eco-friendly place, and you’ll be part of the positive change. Let’s make our student residence in Granada a sustainability champion!
