Hid lights

Samantha Elmes knows recycling and reusing materials are good ways to save money and resources. That’s why she’s planning on hitting the Salvation Army when she prepares to head back to school in the spring for her nursing degree at Molloy College in Nassau County.

“They have some great things,” said Elmes, who is from Poughkeepsie but will be living off-campus at school. “I’m a creative person. It’s easy to find something you can fix up, which is fun,” perhaps a table for $10 or $15 that could be sanded and re-painted.

Reusing previously owned goods isn’t new to Elmes. During her senior year at Binghamton University, where she earned a bachelor’s degree in psychology in May, Elmes and her eight housemates pooled their kitchenware and furniture. 

“We shared almost everything,” said Elmes, allowing the co-eds to save resources on having to purchase separate supplies. Plus the house’s previous tenants donated supplies they’d used while living there to the home’s new occupants, providing Elmes and the others with reusable goods. 

“It took a lot of the burden out of living on your own,” said Elmes. 

In turn, she and her housemates left their no-longer-needed furnishings to subsequent tenants, including cooking vessels, a floor lamp, and a mini-refrigerator that Elmes acquired from a friend who didn’t need it anymore. 

As for her studies, Elmes got supplementary material associated with her text books online, which was both eco-friendly and interactive. Many of her professors had online portals for assignments and learning material and she noticed an increase in online courses.
