being and takes action for

it. This programme covers

Parayavaran Mitra programme uses the concept of “Hand Print” - which is a tool that meas-ures impacts of positive environmental actions. As educators, you can use this tool to understand and visu-alize the impact of your en-vironmental education con-tribution, especially for cli-

mate change mitigation/adaptation and creating sustainable lifestyles. E.g. Plant trees. Each tree re-duces annual CO2 emis-sions by 20 Kg.; 100 stu-dents using one sided pa-per can reduce CO2 emis-sions by 870 Kg. Similarly, several actions can be quantified in terms of car-

bon emission reduction and eco-friendly lifestyle.

Send us by post or email your school activity reports for sharing on website. We will help you quantify your handprints.

Why Themes ? The thematic approach helps to link

the topics taught in the different subjects by the

teacher to our day-to-day life and environment. Stu-

dents become more aware about interlikages and

allows teachers of all subjects to become facilita-

tors of Paryavaran Mitra. Schools have to involve

students in the class rooms, in eco-clubs and the

whole school in action oriented activities under five

themes: Biodiversity, Energy, Waste Management,

Water, Culture and Heritage.
