The common arguement is that can 1 person make a difference?? The answer is simple ...no. The fact of the matter is that as this word becomes more environmetally friendly in the west and less so in the east 1 person in the west will never make a difference. However if many people think to tryand make a difference even they think that they are only 1 person if many people do this "1person" stratergy then it could ultimatley make a difference. Making a difference can come in may different forms and can be as simple as not taking a carrier bag from the campus express an carrying the loaf of bread, pint of milk and a packet of crisps back to your flat rather then taking a bag when really it is not worth it as it is only 5 minutes away.
It is not things of this nature it is the little things that use up more electricty then normal for example doyou really need your music on the loudness that it is on this uses more power to power the speakers and if it is played at a late enough hour then it could keep people from sleeping and forcing them to watch a movie or play on their compter thus using more electricty. It is like the butterfly effect as one person using much energy by playing their music loud make evryone in close proximity turn there tv sets, laptops or stereo up just to hear what they want t here, all of this uses up electricity. The thing is in university that people dont feel the full force of this becasue you pay the rent and that come inclusive with the electricity however we had to pay the something towards the electricity bill i now the I personally make saw that i switched my laptop off every night before i went to bed and probably when i was out aswell to save money ... and the environment.

some good ideas here. you could of sugessted more ways in which one person could make a difference. like taking puplic transport instead of driving. but i liked the idea about carry items from the shop instead of using a bag. but i dont really agree about the multiply effect of listening to someones loud music keeps you awake and makes you want to watch a film. i think you would just go and tell the person to TURN THE MUSIC DOWN!
