Our Work with Ramjas College, University of Delhi finds a mention in The Hindustan Times

We work with more than two dozen colleges in the University of Delhi and our work with Ramjas College located in the North Campus of University of Delhi found a mention in an article titled, “Eco friendly moves by Delhi University Colleges” in The Hindustan Times.

Excerpts from the article are quoted below:

From banning plastic bottles on campus, to recycling waste, installing solar heaters and promoting use of bicycles, Delhi University colleges are taking a number of eco-friendly initiatives to protect the environment.

 

Ramjas College has introduced a green cycle project to promote the use of bicycles within the campus and nearby areas.

“We have tied up with Delhi Cycles Private Limited (GreenRide Public Bicycle Sharing Service). We are the first college in Delhi University to do something like this. As a part of the project, Delhi Cycles will be providing cycles to us, free of cost. Two stands – On our campus and at the Metro – will be built. Students can swipe a smart card to access and drop off the cycles. Services will be available from 8 am to 8 pm, says Nalini Nigam, associate professor, department of botany in Ramjas.

From the past three years, the college has also been sending all its waste paper to Jaagruti waste paper recycling services. This year, waste paper sent totalled 2,230 kg, Nigam says.

How to reduce and reuse paper?

Next time you waste paper, you may do well to remember that paper doesn’t grow on trees! 

But, about 17-22 full grown trees are cut to make 1 tonne of paper.

Paper usage is inevitable, we understand that because we also use paper, BUT you can help the environment by reusing paper. Reuse minimizes the amount of trash you produce and conserves precious natural resources.

Many everyday paper items can be reused and kept out of landfills:

  • Replace using tissue papers with handkerchiefs, why waste paper made out of trees, when you can use a piece of cloth that can be washed over and over again and reused..Think?
  • Save paper that has print on only one side. This paper can be reused in a variety of ways: for writing lists or notes, as drawing or coloring paper for children, for home printing that doesn’t need to be professional.
  • Save toilet paper rolls and paper towel rolls. These can be used for school or home art projects. They can also be used for starting seeds.
  • Save tissue wrapping paper. It can be reused for wrapping another gift, as packing material, or for protecting Christmas ornaments for storage.
  • Save junk mail. It can be used to make lists, as scratch paper, for a child’s drawing.
  • Replace paper bags with cloth bags while you go shopping.

If you have some paper left that hasn’t been reused through some method above or has been used and re-used to the hilt and can’t be used or re-used anymore, don’t throw it away!

Recycle it and all your organisation’s waste paper by contacting us at ‘Jaagruti™ Waste Paper Recycling Services‘.

We do it for free and we do it to save many a tree!
