Earth for All: Environmental Consciousness among Students
The context
The relationship between nature and Christ College is a long and enduring one, something that the students and teachers of the college are well aware of. The College has received State Level Government Awards in this area. Even though College is in the forefront of environmental conservation, many of the students lack proper orientation on waste segregation and treatment in a scientific manner. Climate change is no myth: The rate of environmental degradation in the 21st century industrial, consumerist society is alarming. It is in this context that the College has been consistently working towards creating and maintaining an eco-friendly and clean campus with the concept of Earth for All. As it is situated in a semi-urban background, the College believes in developing and promoting Sustainable Development Models whereby Eco-friendly startups and projects in an agrarian context will be conceived which will be highly beneficial for the livelihood of students.
Objectives
The project aims to foster the culture of eco-friendly practices and make the campus environmentally sustainable, to develop Sustainable Development Projects (SDP) and Start-ups and give training to students. It also envisages to make campus plastic free, to introduce minimum waste and to inculcate the message of biodiversity conservation. The ultimate aim of the project is to inculcate a sustainable lifestyle among students.
SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS (SDPs):
1. STUDENT CLUBS AND ACTIVITIES
2. COLLEGE INITIATIVES
3. BEYOND THE CAMPUS INITIATIVES
