The Green Project
The “UBD Green Project” is a long term initiatives to make UBD a Green Campus. It is also one of UBD’s approaches to education for sustainability in environmental education. Since the establishment of UBD, there are various initiatives involved in the “Greening” of UBD Campus and focus has now been given to awareness on environmental challenges. The aim of the project is to equip all UBD Communities (staff as well as students) with the knowledge and skills required to live sustainably. Thus, the theme: "UBD CAN! Reduce. Reuse. Recycle" has been chosen to encourage staff as well as students to start recycling the paper, reuse the plastic as well as reduce the waste and energy emission that could exacerbate climate change. To achieve this goal, various projects have been planned in conjunction with the 21st Convocation Festival:
Some of the Students’ initiatives that have been or will be implemented under this project are the “Plant 100 Trees for a Cause” project, “Amazing Race – Go Green!” Competition, “Its Fun to Use Bicycle” Campaign, “Towards Less Plastic Usage Around UBD” Campaign, “Trash into Treasure” Competition & Exhibition, “Poster Competition on “Environmental Sustainability”, Pledge for “UBD Environment Challenge” and Creative Comedy Sketch by Students RAKIS club.
"Plant 100 Trees For a Cause" Project is coordinated by Bazilah & team, MPP student (support from Estate)
This is the first few projects under the "Forest Rehabilitation Project", whereby 100 trees will be planted behind the Estate Buidling, UBD. Already 34 trees have been adopted by students as well staff (including VC himself). A total of $40 fees will be incurred for each tree or alternatively you may want to divide it with 4 person for a tree ($10/person). You will then be able to labeled the tree with your own name. This project will be implemented on WED 28 OCT 2009 (together with the Workshop on Forest Rehabilitation).
Interested student / staff can contact bazilah directly for entry form and payment via email at be_riesa@hotmail.com or sms @ hp 8662833.
"Pledge for UBD Environment Challenge" project is coordinated by Shafiee & team, MPP Student (support from AR FBEPS)
The aim of the project is to find out our commitment to change our lifestyle and our daily habits to help save our environment for the benefits of our future generation. The project's detail can be found at http://ubdenvironmentchallenge.blogspot.com/ (Refer Nur Farazida's email, AR FBEPS)
“Towards Less Plastic Usage Around UBD” Campaign is coordinated by Nur Rahmalini, MPP Students (support from HEP)
This is a project whereby students will educate UBD Canteen Operators, Cash Counter Operator, Restaurant Owner on the importance of using RECYCLING BAG and banning the use of FREE plastic bag. The PMUBD has designed a new and fresh looking recycling bags so that students and staff will start bringing and using this ecofriendly bag. The bag will be sold @ $2/bag. Bag will be available at PMUBD Shop from Monday 12 OCT 2009.
“Its Fun to Use Bicycle” Campaign is coordinated by Nur Fairuz Nazri, the President of MPP (Support from HEP / Lecturers from FOS)
This project will start on WED 14 Oct 2009 whereby students as well as staff will be bicycling around campus to start campaigning on the importance of reducing energy emission from the use of automobiles. The students will also be campaigning on the importance of carpooling amongst students and staff around campus. More similar activities have also been planned for next year, for e.g. Bicycleton Activity.
To find out more on the dates for the students activities, you can log on to UBD website (under Pesta Convo) or go directly on updated information through PMUBD website (pmubd.wordpress.com)
UBD will also be holding an awareness workshop on Wednesday 28 OCT 2009 @ 130pm at the Senate Room, Chancellor Hall entitled “UBD Green Initiative: Forest Rehabilitation”. Further details will be emailed to you soon.
The Student Affairs Section will also be planning to increase the usage of Recycling bins around Campus. We are trying to work on buying recycling bins for plastic, paper and bottle to be located on each building. This will provide facilities to all students as well staff to start the culture of "recycling, reusing and reducing". More info will be circulated once it will be implemented.
We hoping that all UBD Communities will help us move UBD to a Green Campus that we can all be proud of. Every little contribution you made will make a difference!
