WHY - millions of highlighters are used each day and most of them are a formulation of liquid ink or gel encased in plastic. They're nearly impossible to recycle, so we throw them away and the number is staggering. Here's another option, a highlighter you can feel good about, and this one small choice can make a big difference.SUSTAINABLE - responsibly made in Austria (wood from managed forests) with a natural finish so they are biodegradable (no plastics, no ink solvents, no volatile organic compounds).LONG LASTING - dry highlighters don't bleed through thin pages, leak or dry out. They sharpen easily and the core will not chip or crumble like other brands. Excellent for home, school and office. Suggested uses: bible highlighter, textbook highlighter, engineering and schematics, financial statements, and more...SIZE DIMENSIONS - the pencils are JUMBO sized (3/8 inch in diameter x 6 7/8 inches in length) and hexagon shape - comfortable to hold and use. To sharpen, use a JUMBO pencil sharpenerHIGHLIGHTER SET – includes 6 neon colors (pink, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple) and a JUMBO pencil sharpener.

For highlighters, I have these eco highlighters which are essentially big fluorescent colored pencils and do a decent job. Not as bright as ink obviously, but they work.
I second taking notes on an iPad or laptop. It saves so much paper. I was really happy when I switched away from paper. It’s also way easier to ctrl+F instead of flipping through page after page for what you want.
Don’t buy textbooks unless you absolutely have to, and try to get a used copy from the bookstore if they have some. Try to find textbooks online as well.
As for living in the dorms, make sure you’re taking only what you can eat in the dining halls. With a huge buffet selection, it’s easy to fill up a huge plate. Use smaller plates if possible to limit yourself. You can always get seconds!
Perhaps minimalism might be a thing to research about- it isn’t always about having the least amount of things, it is about having value in the things you own. If some of those toys don’t bring value to your life anymore, maybe it is time to think of another home for them. It is okay to have some things!
As for art supplies, there are lower waste options out there, you do not have to give up a hobby and live a dull life. There are other places in your life where you can cut down on your waste!

Eco-Highlighters, like colored pencils, but are larger. They come wrapped in plastic though from what the customer pictures show. Though from reading about them they do seem to have more good to compensate.

It's worthwhile to educate yourself on different styles and alternative concepts to find the right compromise for your lifestyle. You'll probably find a solution for one person that is an impossibility for another; keep that in mind as you travel on your journey!
