Idea "Penro is urging everybody to join the activity by bringing in and selling recyclable materials such as newspapers, clean plastic cellophanes, plastic containers scrap paper, cartons, empty bottles, tin cans, aluminum containers, PC monitors, used ink/toner cartridges and junk appliances to said fair."

"May pera sa basura!"

2. Solar Generation - Pilipinas cheers

Title: Green Campus Launching - from 1998 to the Present projects

Idea "The Green Campus was then born on the month July and it was agreed by all departments to immediately implement the project proposal which was endorsed by SolarGeneration and re-aligned by the Green Campus Committee (created during the first meeting) based on the campus requirements and capacity. The project started through information education communication campaign of the Simple Lang Save the Climate toolkit (switch-off, Unplug and light up efficiently) in the university were in-charge committee was tasked to execute their role while the college of Engineering conducts the energy audit to be submitted on the agreed time-frame.

By the end of the month the University presented the partial report education campaign generated savings (August 2008): Php 58,774.10 and presented the energy audit report which was then conducted by the Engineering Department.

Now the University is planning the use of energy generated from Renewable source (Solar) for their electricity consumption and the use of sustainable public transport which is the electric jeepney."

Title: 12 Steps Towards Sustainability

Idea "Universities have an obligation to operate in a manner that is ecologically and socially sound, as well as economically viable. To do this they need to act in a sustainable manner considering all three when making planning and operational decisions. Universities are being asked to support the regional, national and worldwide climate change efforts. This includes actions to educate, lower emissions, reduce dependence on fossil fuels. Organizations are also internally driven to reduce unnecessary cost for maintenance and energy. Universities should become "Learning Laboratories" for the future citizens and leaders of the world."

"It's not easy being green!"


[b]My views!


*Recycling
- Recycling materials can less the hazardous effects in our society. In our school, I can say that recycling materials should be adopt because as what i saw in the laboratory room there are lots of unused monitors/keyboards/mouse. Selling this waste can benefit some money and make use of this money for beautification of our school.
*Solar Energy
- As what i can see in our school, it is much better if we can have more solar energy producing things because the more this solar energy things it can really save electricity consumption by making use of this solar energy. Saving electricity also save money. In our school if we can save more electricity we can earn also more money and that money we could divert it to the improvement in our school like in the beautification or other things. To save also energy we should also adopt ways in conserving energy and it should begin in the facilitators or staffs in our school and should implement a strict compliance for this matter.
