2. 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 Green brigade’s efforts for our environment Are …………..

3. 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 Needs to be saved, in order to minimize fragmentation of forests

5. 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

6. As the note-book has 194 sheets we save 2328 lines (194x12) or 97 pages or 48.5 sheets 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 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 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 saved 18 trees

7. 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 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

9. 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

10. 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
