GREEN Campus


We have been talking a lot about acid rain, green house effect, climate change, global warming, green technology, etc.... Who are the best people to respond to these issues if not the educated one. We can start with the green campus; not just the green in colour or full of decorated green plants but the green spirit should be in all individuals. Look at our environment. If we have 30,000 staff and students in one campus, may be we need 60,000 trees with 30 metres tall and 2-3 metres diameter. Do we have this in our campus? If not we must do it now, design, plant them and preserve the existing one. Do not cut any trees as we like. Do we practice recycle papers, how many junk letters/brochures we recieved or produced everyday, how many A4 papers we use everyday, how do we safe our electricity and water bills? How we manage our chemicals from laboratories. How we manage our transport systems in campus? Do we practice green fertiliser. In fact we can have compost centre to process plant materials, food waste and other organic matters for fertiliser to make our trees green and colourful. How we treated our waste water (grease trap? process our waste water? OR our water contain contraceptive pills???). In short University's professors and students must think on how to green the campus and followup by the other staff.
