Do we want this kind of END to our journey

If not 2012 , definitely it will be our fate may be in 2052

We need to start our efforts to save our environment from the word go, so we as the members of Green Brigade started

The only way which can lead us to a green earth is by reducing our carbon foot prints ,so as to make this earth cleaner and greener

ECO FRIENDS REVOLUTION

Green brigade’s efforts for our environment Are …………..

So we as the members of green brigade have tried our level best

To reduce paper consumption - by reducing paper wastage -and increasing the writing space

per page

PAPER Needs to be saved , in order to minimize fragmentation of forests

There are 24 lines on a page . Using side and top margins

we add 6 lines to a page ,

hence adding 12 lines to a sheet.

1/6 * 24 = 4( from side margin

+ 2 ( from top margin

Total 6 lines per page

As the note-book has 194 sheets we save 2328 lines (194x12) or 97 pages or 48.5 sheets

We made 3000 students to use the margins for the last year in about their 10 note-books

hence saving 1455000 sheets which can constitute the raw material for 7500 note-books

Hence saving about 18 trees ( as one big tree can produce up to 80500 sheets )

We saved 18 trees

We have also set up a paper recycling unit

Students take up projects to recycle the waste paper collected in special bins every month

We as eco crusader’s not only save paper by wise use but also give our level best to recycle every little part to minimize our

carbon foot prints

USE OF MOBILE PHONES

CAUSES AND RESULTS

The phones may leak highly toxic metals . like Ni Cd battery can damage -nervous system, -reproductive developmental problems, -cancer and genetic impacts. Dumping mobile phones creates long term

pollution risk to the environment. Mobile’s waves majorly harm the bees n other

birds.

-Of excessive use of mobiles

REUSE by recycling If you Re-cycle a mobile phone, you avoid the need for a new one to be produced . Green Brigade Advised students to -- Reduce Excessive messaging -- Switch off cell at night -- prefer calls over texts

SOLUTIONS

We have also started use of micro scale chemistry

TO REDUCE CHEMICAL USAGE,HENCE SAVE ENVIRONMENT

• We as members of GREEN BRIGADE • Have encouraged students - to use ball pens and refill it. - to use the same pen body and mechanical pencil for 6 months or more. - to do rough work using pencils.

Most of the people are unaware about the fact of efficiency of R.O regarding water usage.

Its efficiency is 5% to 25%. So as a result a huge amount of water is led out.

GREEN BRIGADE collects waste water in a separate tank. We also use it for cleaning purposes
