Food wastage is not only a humanitarian concern but also an environmental problem. Food is extremely energy intensive and any wastage will increase the carbon footprint in an alarming level. Wasted food in landfill produces methane which is more potent than carbon dioxide as greenhouse gas. About 6%-8% of all human-caused greenhouse gas emissions could be reduced if we stop wasting food.
Creating Awareness is the first step towards any effort to bring about a change.

LED lamps are more energy efficient, durable and emits less heat. By replacing the conventional bulbs with LED lighting systems BPDC managed to save a whopping 129121 W. The carbon intensity for electricity production in UAE is *0.42 kg CO2/KWh and hence we are saving 54.23 kg CO2 every hour.
Paper bags being biodegradable it is far more sustainable than plastic bags. Students made paper bags using newspaper and donated to the Mini Mart (Grocery @BPDC) and Canteen for usage. This initiative was active till February 2020.It was suspended due to the pandemic.
Donation Drives for used Clothes
Recycling and reusing of clothes and other textiles create a huge impact in reducing Greenhouse gases and ecological footprint. Every Year ,the Social and Environment Club of BPDC collects clothes ,beddings and donate it to the Emirates Red Crescent.
The Book Room (Reuse of Text Books)
Production of printed books have enormous Ecological/Carbon Foot print because of the excessive usage of water, fossil fuel and paper consumptions. Printed papers in landfill generates enormous amount of greenhouse gases. To reduce the negative impacts, used text books are made available for students in the BPDC campus to borrow instead of buying new books.
Usable papers from the exam booklets were collected and made into scribbling pads which are distributed among students, Staff and faculty every year.
