Do we want this kind of END to our journey
If not 2012 , definitely it will be our fate may be in 2052
We need to start our efforts to save our environment from the word go, so we as the members of Green Brigade started
The only way which can lead us to a green earth is by reducing our carbon foot prints ,so as to make this earth cleaner and greener
ECO FRIENDS REVOLUTION
Green brigade’s efforts for our environment Are …………..
So we as the members of green brigade have tried our level best
To reduce paper consumption - by reducing paper wastage -and increasing the writing space
per page
PAPER Needs to be saved , in order to minimize fragmentation of forests
There are 24 lines on a page . Using side and top margins
we add 6 lines to a page ,
hence adding 12 lines to a sheet.
1/6 * 24 = 4( from side margin
+ 2 ( from top margin
Total 6 lines per page
As the note-book has 194 sheets we save 2328 lines (194x12) or 97 pages or 48.5 sheets
We made 3000 students to use the margins for the last year in about their 10 note-books
hence saving 1455000 sheets which can constitute the raw material for 7500 note-books
Hence saving about 18 trees ( as one big tree can produce up to 80500 sheets )
We saved 18 trees
We have also set up a paper recycling unit
Students take up projects to recycle the waste paper collected in special bins every month
We as eco crusader’s not only save paper by wise use but also give our level best to recycle every little part to minimize our
carbon foot prints
USE OF MOBILE PHONES
CAUSES AND RESULTS
The phones may leak highly toxic metals . like Ni Cd battery can damage -nervous system, -reproductive developmental problems, -cancer and genetic impacts. Dumping mobile phones creates long term
pollution risk to the environment. Mobile’s waves majorly harm the bees n other
birds.
-Of excessive use of mobiles
REUSE by recycling If you Re-cycle a mobile phone, you avoid the need for a new one to be produced . Green Brigade Advised students to -- Reduce Excessive messaging -- Switch off cell at night -- prefer calls over texts
SOLUTIONS
We have also started use of micro scale chemistry
TO REDUCE CHEMICAL USAGE,HENCE SAVE ENVIRONMENT
• We as members of GREEN BRIGADE • Have encouraged students - to use ball pens and refill it. - to use the same pen body and mechanical pencil for 6 months or more. - to do rough work using pencils.

Most of the people are unaware about the fact of efficiency of R.O regarding water usage.
Its efficiency is 5% to 25%. So as a result a huge amount of water is led out.
GREEN BRIGADE collects waste water in a separate tank. We also use it for cleaning purposes
