ENVIRONMENT CONSCIOUSNESS Mata Gujri College, with its eco-friendly campus, attracts the attention of all who enter its premises. Mata Gujri College is a world in itself with its paved pathways, shady avenues, variety of trees, colourful flowering plants and well-laid out lawns.

Green Audit ENERGY AUDIT The College conducted an Energy Audit of the entire campus with the aim of minimizing energy consumption. The purpose of the Energy Audit includes identifying the energy consumption in various locations of the College, assessing the usage of electricity and energy loss due to faults and proposed possible reduction in energy usage.

Initiatives taken by the College to make the campus eco-friendly To make the campus eco-friendly, the following strategies have been implemented:

ENERGY CONSERVATION

• Window ACs are being phased out with split ACs with star rated ones taking their place.

• Bhai Nand Lal Auditorium is fitted with new energy saving fans and lights.

• Strict adherence to College norm of turning off the electricity after College timings.

• Turning off lights, fans, ACs, computers etc. when not in use.

• Use of energy saving compact fluorescent bulbs in place of incandescent light bulbs.

• Preference is given to purchase of products having “Energy Star” logo.

• E-mailing documents in place of faxing.

USE OF RENEWABLE ENERGY a) We are planning to install solar energy equipments in the rooms of the College hostel and this project will be completed shortly. b) We generally purchase appliances that use water and energy efficiently. RAIN WATER HARVESTING The installation of rain water holding tanks throughout the campus that can be used to irrigate campus grounds is under consideration.

EFFORTS FOR CARBON NEUTRALITY We often keep away all the vehicles from College campus and make the environment pollution free. PLANTATION Every year, we plant various trees in the College campus that make atmosphere green and healthy.

E-WASTE MANAGEMENT The College has strict policy regarding E-waste management. Computers, CPUs and other kinds of e-waste are given to dealers who deal in E-waste management.

HAZARDOUS WASTE MANAGEMENT

• To reduce emissions of harmful materials and to improve the environmental credentials, the College campus has bins in all areas. • Infectious materials and contaminated liquids or solids are treated before they are disposed. For this, most of the bio- hazardous wastes generated in our laboratories are decontaminated by autoclaving.

• We keep closed the toxic waste containers at all the times except when pouring waste. In order to prevent injury to the custodians, all broken glass materials are disposed in separate covered bins. OTHERS

• Smoking is strictly banned in the College campus.

• Use of plastic bags and envelops are also banned.

• We arranged conference in the year 2010 for discussing “Environmental issues and prospects”. Various suggestions / articles were received from the participants and on the basis of these articles, we are publishing a book.

• We guide our students to make the campus eco-friendly by increasing waste reduction, reuse and recycling systems through environment education.
