subject: It Is Important To Create A Green Campus [print this page] Nowadays, campus construction has been brought into focus. According to a survey, almost all the schools and colleges are rebuilding their campus: not only the teaching buildings but also the circumstances. In this essay, I will discuss the importance of campus construction and offer my own view on it.extravagance and waste have become increasingly serious in some of the university campus. We can see that papers, bottles and cans are thrown away after use; food is wasted just because of its poor taste; clothes are discarded simply owing to their old fashion. As a consequence, people in mounting numbers put great emphasis on creating a green campus.
A lot of efforts have been made to better the campus environment, in particular, the construction of a green campus. Many colleges have taken serious measures to build environmental friendly campus, such as lawns, artificial pools, and tree-lined roads. However, in my view, this is only the initial step and we can do more.
To begin with, the schools and colleges may implement strict regulation of waste on campus: no matter the leftovers in canteens or the litter in classrooms. Moreover, on the student side, we can use green bags instead of disposable plastic bags and use more recycling chopsticks and bowls. In addition, the most important thing for everyone is that we should raise our awareness of environmental protection.
There are at least two criteria to distinguish what is green campus. On the one hand, natural resources must be conserved and made full use of, for example, we, as college students, should take the wise use of papers and second-hand textbooks into account. On the other hand, education to build up thrift habits must be promoted by relevant departments and professionals at various levels.
Accordingly, it is necessary for us to take effective steps. For one thing, university authorities should respond with the demand for more rigid conservation of our natural resources, such as water, electricity, and so on. For another, we should enhance the awareness of college students that creating a green campus is of utmost significance to both our society and ourselves.
