Green Initiatives
Green Initiative is essentially a set of measures which results in significant reduction of waste with primary focus on prevention of use of disposables and using reusable alternatives like glass/stainless/porcelain cutleries. When Green Protocol is implemented in any event, non biodegradable waste generation becomes close to zero. Therefore, the question of waste management post the event becomes virtually non- existent. It was tried for the first time in the International Conference conducted on 6th and 7th March 2019 and now it has become a people’s movement with many other programmes to be conducted in the College.
Green protocol as of today has truly become a movement in Kerala. It has definitely taken the form of an environ-cultural revolution that the mission strongly believes is going to change the way we live in this Country and on this planet.
