MSEUF actively manages carbon emissions to promote environmental sustainability. Through a Carbon Management Program, the University monitors its carbon footprint and implements strategies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
The University implemented the three’Rs (reduce, reuse and recycle) from the generated solid waste. The said solid wastes were gathered at the Material Recovery Facility (MRF) of the university where it will be segregated through biodegradable, recyclable, residual and hazardous wastes. The biodegradable wastes were dumped at the compost pits, the recyclables were brought to the junk shops, the residual wastes to the sanitary landfill of the City and the hazardous wastes will be disposed to the waste treater. Recycling extends the life of the recycled products.
The University also switches to renewable resources and green building. We are planning to install solar panel in our street lightings and the whole Engineering building. Most of the wall cladding are using glass panel for natural lighting and spacious rooms for comfortable ventilation. Furthermore, the main campus is well-planned, preserving the natural resources and situated in a greener area with trees and fauna.
The University, through its Community Extension Services, implemented tree-planting activities in our university and neighboring barangays. Trees are the primary agents for carbon sequestration.
The University is also committed to sustainable mobility. To reduce carbon emissions, walk or use a bicycle when traveling short distances. If you need to use a car or vehicle, make sure that your engine has undergone preventive maintenance. For offices whose staff are always travelling long distances, such as procurement and others, prevent frequent travel for minor purposes only.
The University switched to LED lighting to conserve energy. LED light bulbs can reduce emissions by 40%.
The Manuel S. Enverga University Foundation promotes green initiatives and reduction of energy consumption through the collaboration of teaching and non-teaching personnel, students and other stakeholders. Some facilities of the University use natural light and energy-efficient materials to reduce consumption. Activities such as quarterly Earth Hour, seminars, distribution of IEC materials and collaborative events with relevant agencies and organizations will be conducted.
