Role of Academic Eco Clubs to Execution of National Policies on Environmental...Malhari Survase
The environmental awareness is the initial step ultimately leading to the ability to carry on responsible citizenship behavior. In view of this, the main aim is to assess the role of academic eco clubs to execution of national policies on environmental awareness among the college students. The required data and information is collected through various sources such as published books, journals, unpublished research thesis and online articles with the observations. The national policies and role of academic eco clubs in awareness and preservation of environment are objectively elaborated. With the consideration of the severity of the environment related problems the author tried to suggest the suitable remedies for the environmental awareness and sustainable development.

Environmental sanitation is fundamental to health and development in schools because having healthy school environments sets schools on track for conducive and active learning. Many schools are experiencing poor environmental sanitation. The objective of this research is to review students’ perception of environmental sanitation. The method used is review of academic articles, textbooks, internet materials, thesis, journals and publicly available materials on environmental sanitation. This enabled the researchers to capture other authors view on students’ perception of environmental sanitation. Results of the review based on the convergent views of previous authors, showed that there was poor environmental sanitation practices in schools. It is therefore recommended that: (1) there is need for environmental awareness among students on the importance of environmental sanitation; (2) Provision of waste bins at strategic points, especially in all classroom buildings; (3) Inclusion of environmental education in school curriculum at all levels of the educational system; and conducting environmental sanitation on Tuesdays and Thursdays in schools on regular basis.
The Green Campus Challenge – An inclusive approach towards fostering energy ...Green Campus
Around 30 teams composed by students, faculty and technical staff from several
Portuguese universities created energy efficiency plans to their campuses buildings and
12 finalists were selected. When compared to the present situation, the implementation
of the 12 finalists’ projects would result in annual energy savings of 1.9 GWh and 1.09
ton CO2 avoided. Economic analysis shows that the majority of the suggested actions
are cost effective, with an average return period of 5 years.

Education is key to ensuring the sustainability of our environment and natural resources, and conservation districts play a vital role in cultivating the next generation of conservation leaders. Join us for an engaging discussion on conservation education, featuring NACD’s Stewardship and Education initiatives and the NCF-Envirothon program. NACD and the NCF-Envirothon provide conservation districts with initiatives and resources for outreach to students, K–12 grades. This hands-on session will provide an overview of NACD’s Stewardship and Education program which develops conservation education tools for districts and the public, and NCF-Envirothon, an international environmental and conservation academic competition that builds leadership experience for high school students. Hear from a panel of speakers during a roundtable discussion on their work with conservation education outreach initiatives and Envirothon programming and participate with questions, discussion and
interaction.

ENVIRONMENTAL CONSERVATION: KNOWLEDGE, ATTITUDES, AND PRACTICES AMONG SELECTE...Liwayway Memije-Cruz
Abstract
This study aimed to provide information on the awareness of selected students of PUP Main on Environmental Science concepts for the First Semester, School Year 2008-2009. The descriptive correlation method of research was utilized. Results show that the students, in general possess satisfactory knowledge, desirable attitude and desirable practices towards environmental conservation.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
