A common cheap activity for college students is watching movies. From being an easy hang out or a laid back “romantic” (maybe) date, most college students have a collection of DVD’s with some of their favorite movies on hand and ready to watch. However, when you want to watch a more recent film I am going to suggest renting a DVD instead of buying one. When you buy a DVD, you are supporting the production of new raw materials that will most likely never be recycled and pollute the earth. By renting, you are reusing DVD’s and being more eco-friendly. Renting will also save you money in the long run. For example, a new flick just came out onto DVD and you bought it for about $17. Now, you could go to your local Redbox and rent the DVD for $1 for the evening and return it the next day. Just think, when you bought that DVD for $17, do you really believe you will watch it 17 times? Probably not so you are better off renting it. There are also other methods of renting movies besides Redbox such as having a Netfix account or renting them on Itunes. An even more environmentally friendly method of watching movies is to borrow them from your friends. One more thing, by staying home to watch movies you won’t have to drive anywhere utilizing gas that wastes money and pollutes the atmosphere.
