The document introduces basic concepts of an environmental management system, including the surrounding environment consisting of air, water, land, natural resources, flora, fauna, and humans. It discusses environmental aspects such as releases to land, water and air, use of energy, raw materials and resources. Environmental impacts include air, water and noise pollution, depletion of natural resources, global warming, soil contamination, health issues, scarcity of water, extinction of animals, and deforestation. The document encourages small contributions like saving electricity, fuel, managing waste and water to make a difference. It provides an overview of ISO 14001 certification which demonstrates an organization's commitment to the environment through planning, implementation, checking, and reviewing their environmental management

6. Small contribution = huge difference!!!
Save electricity
• Turn off lights and electrical devices when not in use
• 1 kWh= 7.0555 × 10-4 metric tons CO2
Save fuel
• Use public transport or carpool
• 1 litre diesel = 2.7 Kg Co2
Manage waste
• Reduce-Recycle-Reuse
• recycling 180 sheets of paper will save 1kg of CO2
Save water
• Prevent or repair water leaks
• Replace older toilets with a low-flow toilet to save up to 75 percent of water use per flush
