Week 9 : Field Works - On Campus Observation

 

Assalamualaikum wbt,

hope you guys are in the pink of health. In this class topic is field work on campus observation. IIUM as Sustainable Campus: Students as Agents of Change

1. Prof. Dr. Suhaimi asks us what is green campus ? What is a sustainable campus? How can our project contribute to a sustainable green campus?

 A green campus refers to a university or educational institution that focuses on reducing its environmental impact. It emphasizes environmentally friendly practices such as energy efficiency, water conservation, waste reduction, and maintaining green spaces. The main goal is to protect the environment and minimize pollution within the campus.

A sustainable campus is a broader concept. It not only includes environmental protection but also integrates economic and social sustainability. A sustainable campus promotes long-term responsible use of resources, supports social well-being and inclusivity, encourages sustainable teaching and research, ensures financial viability, and balances environmental, social, and economic needs for present and future generations.

We can conclude how our project can support environmental contribution and eco-friendly practices. For me and my group project are focusing on water waste reduction during performing wudhuk. The target area of this project is in the SHAS Mosque.

Then Prof talks about what our IIUM has done to apply a green campus concept.

1. recycle bin at the library, Mahallah Cafe, and the surrounding areas of each faculty building.

2. poster about save our earth, preserve our university, dont waste and save energy

3. Encourage societies in IIUM to execute a green day campus among the IIUM communities.

4. IIUM Mahabbah Food, CFS Sejahtera Room, Cat Shelter, Recycling station, and Food waste composting area.

5. Go-green programmes -IIUM World Clean-up, Kuantan Campus River Campaign 2018.

IIUM action not only focuses on the environmental aspect but social, mental, and educational.
