How feasible is it for a student living on-campus, in a dorm, who has a meal plan, to partake in the “No Impact” lifestyle Beaven outlines?

I think that it would be really hard for a student to partake in the “No Impact” lifestyle. A student with a meal plan has many options to choose from for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, but not all of these options offer something healthy or organic. It is important for a student to learn what is and is not healthy because it is their body they are putting at risk. Also, a college student tends to create a lot of trash and I think it would be quite difficult to make no trash. I don’t think college students take into mind that what they eat and throw away actually affects the environment so I think it would be hard for a college student to take on a “No Impact” lifestyle.
