Despite all these efforts, the progress has been slow and the goal rather far. One of the easiest ways to go green is to inculcate environment friendly lifestyle habits in youngsters and to apprise them about their duties towards environment.
It is here that schools in the City have stepped in and taken up a variety of issues from waste management to energy conservation and waste water management. They actively engage students in environment friendly activities including planting of saplings not only in the school premises and their surroundings but also includes recycling of old text books, lighting up campuses with alternative sources of energy like solar power, harvesting rain water and teaching them about the restricted use of air-conditioners.
"In the last few years, our school students have been very active in planting saplings. But this year we have gone a step ahead. The halogen lights have been replaced with bulbs run on solar energy," says Neetu Singh, a teacher at Queen's Valley School, Dwarka. The school has won the Centre for Science and Environment's (CSE) Gobar Times National and State-level Green Schools Awards for 2013. Of 21,000 schools from all across the country, Queen's Valley was among the top three schools in the change maker category.
"We wanted to turn our campus into 'Solar School' but owing the heavy expenditure we decided to start with lights first. We have installed solar lights in our schools and wish to increase the use of this alternative source of energy for other purposes too. To make this project a success we have more than 200 students, who are part of the school eco-club. We assign duties and ensure that they understand the long term benefits," says Neetu.
Like Queen's Valley, Father Agnel's School, Gautam Nagar, has also won the Green School Awards. This year the school won the prize for its waste water management. "We have utilised the water collected on rooftops and used water from water coolers and basins to make our school green," says Marina Samyal, who is the co-ordinator of the project and also a teacher.
"Considering the fact that there is so much scarcity of water in South Delhi, we use waste water, collect it through pipes and filter it through a machine. We have utilised this water and turn the barren ground into green," she says and shares that the school plans to re-utilise the water release from the science laboratories too next year.
These awards, which are conferred annually by CSE to recognise schools that excel in natural resource management have also included Mother Teresa Public School in Preet Vihar. The school was applauded for making its students understand the importance of waste recycling and adopting it practically in the campus.
Sunita Narain, director general, CSE referring to 36 schools which received their Green School Awards, says, "Students from all over the nation are doing exemplary work in environmental conservation by minimising water consumption and harvesting water, optimising their energy use, shifting to mass transport modes, and catering to biodiversity conservation in their school compound. Their
efforts are laudable."
