ENVIRONMENTAL
PROTECTIONEnvironmental protection is a practice of protecting the natural
environment on individual, organization controlled or governmental levels, for
the benefit of both the environment and humans. Due to the pressures of over
consumption, population and technology, the biophysical environment is being
degraded, sometimes permanently. This has been recognized, and governments
have begun placing restraints on activities that cause environmental degradation.
Since the 1960s, activity of environmental movements has created awareness of
the various environmental issues.

WATER SHORTAGE AREAS
IN INDIA
•The worst-hit city is Jamshedpur, where the gap between
demand and supply is a yawning 70%.
•The crisis is acute in Kanpur, Asansol, Dhanbad, Meerut,
Faridabad, Visakhapatnam, Madurai and Hyderabad — where
supply fails to meet almost 30% of the demand — according to
data provided by states which was placed in the Lok Sabha
during the recently-concluded Parliament session by the urban
development ministry.
•308 districts in India facing shortage of potable water
Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh have reported the most
number of districts, 50 and 46 respectively, affected due to
water shortage

Rainwater harvesting is the accumulation
and deposition of rainwater for reuse on-site,
rather than allowing it to run off. Rainwater
can be collected from rivers or roofs, and in
many places the water collected is redirected
to a deep pit (well, shaft, or borehole), a
reservoir with percolation,

India faced an energy shortage of 2.1 per cent, or 24,077 million
units (MUs) and a peak shortage of 2.6 per cent, of 4,208 Mw in
2015-16.
In the last financial year, the energy shortage was 3.6 per cent
(28,138 MUs) and peak shortage was 4.7 per cent (7,006 Mw)..

ENERGY CONSERVATION
•The scope: Reduce the energy use of the school by
changing facilities and user behavior.
•Examples: Made reminders to turn off the lights and
devices
•Student energy monitoring,
•the school’s carbon footprint, sources of energy,
actions to reduce that footprint,
•Conducting an energy audit, phantom energy loss,
•Reporting energy savings.

ENERGY CONSERVATION
WAYS• Turn saving electricity into a group project.• At the end of each school day, turn off all
computers and screens.• Replace all traditional light bulbs with energy-
saving ones.• Maximize natural lighting by controlling the blinds
and lights.• Switch off before the holidays, weekends and mid-
term breaks.• Make it a student project to keep records of meter
readings.

ENERGY AUDIT IN
SCHOOLS
• you can simply take stock of where and how you're using energy, by assessing where in the classroom energy is going (and being wasted).
• A simple energy audit can help out. How many lights are on?
• Is there heat or A/C? • Do the computers get left on at night? • Determine where you can cut back, then create a
checklist kids can follow every day.• Adjusting computer monitor settings, turning the
lights off before recess, have a "lights-off" hour once per week, and so on can help raise awareness

SOLAR PANELS IN
SCHOOLS• Solar panels are now used in most commercial buildings to save electricity
and not without a reason.
• More affordable: There are so many classes in school, in addition to labs,libraries and sports areas and all of them need electricity in huge amount.Hence, to opt for a renewable source of energy like solar energy can cutthe electricity bills by half at the end of the month.
• Perfect for All Weathers: The school might be located in any region andit might have any kind of weather, but it is almost always sure to getsunlight and so almost all kinds of schools can afford it and be benefitedby it. A few precautions for areas that rain frequently would be needed butotherwise almost every school can install solar panels to run their schools.
• Roofing: School buildings have various kinds of roofing but almost all ofthem can be adjusted to accommodate the solar panels.

REDUCE WASTE•Try to stop producing waste in the first place!
•Best way to manage our waste is not to produce it in the first
place!
•Cutting down on throw-away products and buying only what
we need prevents unnecessary waste.
•Reducing your waste is much better option environmentally
and financially than recycling or any other waste disposal.
•Your rubbish is collected by your local council your school
may be charged according to the amount collected (though you
should not be charged for disposal).
•You reduce the amount of waste your school produces, you will
reduce its costs too.

REUSE•Reuse – think before you throw things away• Reusing, refilling, repairing or refurbishing things will extend their life and reduce the need to buy new ones. • Encourage pupils to use reusable bottles and flasks for drinks. This can easily be done by installing water fountains around the school and encouraging pupils to drink tap water. • Printer cartridges: you can get your old cartridges refilled and use them again (it may take 1000 years for cartridges to decompose in landfill, and it is often cheaper to refill them than buy new. • Reuse old paper or plastic folders.

RECYCLE•Find out from your waste services provider what recycling services
they offer – some of these might be free. The services offered may
either be co-mingled (all items in one container) or collected in
separate streams.
•You might want to start with the biggest or most popular streams
like paper, cardboard, cans, glass containers, plastics bottles and
cartons.
•can also set up schemes for smaller, more specialised streams like
ink cartridges, light bulbs, batteries and CDs.
•• Make it easy to recycle by placing recycling bins in sensible areas,
such as next to printers and photocopiers, classrooms, and in the
staff room! These areas can be identified from a waste audit. • Use
clear posters and signs to encourage everyone to use recycling bins,
and use them correctly, so this becomes second

hall to see which class can save the
most newspapers, soda cans, water
bottles or any other recyclable item.

SWAP OR GIVE IT
AWAY!•Why not donate them to a local charity shop, advertise on Free cycle, or exchange them in ‘swap shops’ or ‘give and take’ days. • Set up a scheme to collect old ink cartridges and mobile phones from the local community – some charities are keen to accept these to help raise funds.•Make it easy for pupils and their families to swap, donate and exchange second hand uniforms. Run a ‘reuse fashion show’, a ‘swap shop’, or a ‘give and take’ day to make it easy for parents and pupils to do this.• Contact your local charity shops or Freecycle to find a new home for other unwanted items such as furniture, books etc.• Old books and computers can be sent abroad though donation schemes, but check there are procedures in place for maintaining the equipment and disposing of it correctly at end of life

SET UP A GREEN STUDENT
CLUB.
A student club can take real action on campus issues. Your club
may create a campus-wide recycling or composting program;
learn about growing your own food with a school garden;
organize cleanup and planting days; raise funds for green
initiatives; and even take part in statewide and national green
schools competitions. Through all this, students will learn
leadership, teamwork,
