OXYGEN PRODUCTION

• Plant taken for calculation- Periwinkle Plant• Area of the leaf- 8cm2

• Amount of oxygen released by a leaf of theplant in 1 hour = Area of leaf * 1.2

= 8*1.2=9.6 ml• Number of leaves= 60• Amount of oxygen released by plant in

1 hour =9.6*60=576ml So, amount of oxygen released by plant in 1 day(12 hours) =

576*12= 6912 ml

LIFECYCLE OF TEXTILES

QUESTIONS MOSTLY PREFERRED ANSWERS

Do you prefer natural fibres orsynthetic fibres?

Natural

Why do you prefer it? Comfort

Do you know about themanufacturing process?

Yes

Do you think the environment isharmed in this process?

Yes

Do you think this is going to harmthe mankind in turn?

Yes

SURVEY RESULTS

SILK EXTRACTION

• Silk is a natural fibre.• Silk is made from the cocoons of the silkworms.• The cocoons are first kept in hot boiling water.• Then they are separated into thin fine threads.• After the threads are obtained they are send on into another de

partment where the threads are woven into fabrics.• In the area many cocoons which were dead were

kept. Also one of the in charges explained us

on the processing of the silk.

•Date of visit: 14/9/2017 •Place: TATA Silk farm

WASTE MANAGEMENT

SEGREGATION OF WASTE• As given in the results of the survey ,segregation of waste

is very important. Waste can be segregated by keeping twoseparate bins for dry and wet waste.

Drywaste

Wetwaste

DUMPING POINTS IN STUDY AREA.

-Small dumping points in the study area.

GREEN LIFESTYLE(Interview regarding the usage of plastic per day)

Hotel Krishna Sagar, Yelachenahalli

• Usage of plastic strawsper day: 150-250 straws

• Cost- These are bought in bulkIt costs them about Rs.100 for about 1000 straws

• Usage of paper cupsper day: 100-130 cups [only takeaway drinks]

• Cost- It costs them about Rs.40-60 for 100 cups__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________•Along with this, our school implemented changes moving towards Green Lifestyle by using Areca Nutplates instead of plastic plates which are non-biodegradable on Children’s Day celebrations.

•The used Areca Nut plates were then sent to the Karnataka Compost Development Corporation ltd.as they made the better out of it.

CARBON FOOTPRINT, ENERGY CONSERVATION &WATER CONSERVATION

• The amount of emission factor of paper used in our school is :-

6 kg x 3 ( for 1 month ) [Emission factor = 3]6 kg x 3 x 12 ( for 1 annum ) [Emission factor = 3]

= 216 kg of CO2e

• Water usage in our school per day is 2000 litersTherefore usage of water per month is _2000x 30(approx.) liters.Hence, total usage of water per year = 2000 x 30 x 12 liters= 720000 liters

• Total amount of Electricity Bill per annum= Rs.645817Rate of electricity per unit is Rs.7 per KWTotal units of electricity consumed = Rs.645817 / 7 = 92259.6Electricity Emission Factor kg of CO2e/ KWH = 1.56

92259.6 x 1.56= 143924.976 in kilograms.

• Amount of electricity bill during October (less usage due to vacations)– Rs.25000

Total units of electricity consumed – 25000/7 = 3571.42Electricity Emission Factor kg of CO2e/KWH = 1.563571.42 x 1.56

= 5571.42 in kilograms.

NATURE - SHREYA N

God’s gift nature!It is something we should nurture.Look after it just as if they are children,and never thinking their care as a burden They give us all our life requirements

Tools , implements and equipments.But in turn what do we give nature,the sense of satisfaction or danger?

Never does nature let us down,nor makes us sad or frown.The things it does for us is innumerable,furthermore, its offerings to us is impeccable

Let it be December, let it be May,Nature should never be gray.Taking care of it in our best way,Should be the thought of our day.....

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTWe sincerely take this opportunity to express ourgratitude to this prestigious organization(NSIP) and alsothank “Adamya Chetana” for extending their warmsupport.We would also like to thank our management forconstantly supporting us throughout this journey. It wasone successful journey and the learning part was indeedglorious. Thank You!
